floraphile Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 25 May 2023 Baldwin co. AL; grassy brackish marsh near public boat ramp. Grass in standing water. I was patiently waiting for one of 2 calling Clapper Rails to show itself when a Least Bittern and this guy suddenly flushed from the grass. I'm not sure what to make of the stripe along the back of the neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan B Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Honestly, looks like a Eurasian Collared Dove to me. That sounds like a really weird place for one to flush from though. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Is it an actual mark, or a separation between head and neck feathers? Regardless, it's not any type of rail. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
