IKLland Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Do you recall whether it was waging its tail up and down? It’s an empid, leaning Hammond’s but not positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 20 frames. The first 12 it is standing erect with the tail straight down. The last 8 frames the tail moved forward then back to vertical once, then forward again to the position shown in the last photo. I don't know if that qualifies as wagging its tail.

Then it confirms that it’s not a gray flycatcher. Either Hammonds or dusky, leaning Hammonds. Wait for more thoughts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoroark Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 The small beak definitely makes me want to say Hammond's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This photo you have up is a fox sparrow, not a bell’s sparrow. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/441347831 Edited April 29 by IKLland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking a juvenile Bell's, but I can see Fox -- that would be a lifer for me. I don't doubt you, but I'll go ahead and post it as a new topic. Thanks.
