DLecy Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Here are two fun ones, neither are mine. Not seeking an ID on either, but putting up here at the request of another user. Both may come really quickly to some of you, but both birds were pondered over by some of our local birders. Specific location and date are contained within the eBird post. The first is from January in coastal Northern CA, and is the bird labeled as a "Sooty Shearwater." https://ebird.org/checklist/S79623702 The second is from May in coastal Northern CA, and is the "bird sp." https://ebird.org/checklist/S110364687 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilpa Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 @blackburnian suggested Peregrine Falcon in the other thread for the first one. I could get behind that ID Not sure I want to wager a guess for the second bird 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peromyscus Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Because of the other thread, I think that the first bird could be a Peregrine. The second bird, oh, never mind for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
