sbruenjes Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I saw this bird at Overpeck Park in Bergen County yesterday. I didn't get a better pic.. I assume its an immature? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Eastern Kingbird I think. It's kind of hard to tell from the angle. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan B Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Looks better for a juvenile Tree Swallow for me. Tail and wingshape are wrong for a kingbird. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pictaker Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Don’t kingbirds have dark bills? I have never seen one with any yellow in it, tree swallow for me…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juveniles of most species have colorful gapes, juvenile kingbirds also have yellowish gapes. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/593593421 That said, this is definitely a Tree Swallow juvenile- tail shape and color. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Definitely not a Kingbird with that second photo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
