MWM Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) Taken near Seneca Falls NY 5/2, not sure if all the same bird. Edited May 3, 2022 by MWM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWM Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 Bump, thinking Forster's (wouldn't Common be grayer on the body and shorter tail?) Also, both were reported recently at same location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWM Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 Bump (again) can anyone confirm if Common or Forster's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Eberhard Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) I'm thinking that the wings wouldn't be as uniformly white in a common, and the bill would be more or less entirely red considering its breeding season time Edited May 4, 2022 by Sam Eberhard clarity 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Eberhard Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Actually I think I'm wrong on the wing coloration, maybe thats just an immature differentiator. But the 3rd pic does seem to show a bill coloration that works better for forster's 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
