IKLland Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Thanks! Just now, Orange County, Ca. In coastal sage scrub, however BGGN also winters in sage scrub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds are cool Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I does not strike me as a Blue gray Gnatcatcher. The tail looks wrong for a Blue gray. I would say California, but wait for other replies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexHenry Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 We’d probably need to see the underside of the tail or hear the calls to be sure. @IKLlandYou probably have more experience with this ID than most other people on this forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn’t call in my five seconds of observation before it was flushed by a jogger, and I didn’t get views of the undertail. My gut told me CAGN, but I’m not positive.

IKLland Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 Confirmation received from my reviewer. My gut was correct, it’s a CAGN. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
