SmoothPebble Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Hi. I think the bird on the right is a Double-crested Cormorant. Please confirm or correct. No idea about the bird on the left. Please ID. Taken today in Apalachicola, FL. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akiley Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Yes, DC Cormorant and Herring Gull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothPebble Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Thanks! DC Cormorant is new for me. Herring Gull is also new for me. Juvenile in this case, it appears.Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 The Herring is not a juvenile, as it's obviously already replaced some of its juvenile plumage (note the darker and paler feathers among the coverts/scapulars), thus it's best termed an immature. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akiley Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 First-cycle or first-winter would also be appropriate descriptors for this bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
