IKLland Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 There are two or three birds here. Today, Orange County, Ca. Thanks! Whats asking me think LBHE is the bill color and leg colors. But I’m not sure if juv SNEGs look like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caley Thomas 2.0 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 (edited) I'm leaning towards imm. SNEGs on all three, but definitely wait for others...(thinking too much of a yellowish hue in the lores, whereas I would be expecting more of a greenish hue there for imm. LBHEs) Edited July 6 by Caley Thomas 2.0 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLecy Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 All SNEGs. One diagnostic feature of juv. LBHEs is the dusky primary tips, which none of these birds have. See photos for examples. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/310141731 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/111048211 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/263957801 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
