bjragucci Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 These birds were seen last week in Los Alamos and Santa Fe counties. I used Merlin, but it's not always right so looking for confirmation or corrections. Thanks! #1 Brewers Sparrow? #2 Juvenile Say's Phoebe? #3 Western Tanager -Merlin did hear one in the are I took the photo. #4 Hepatic Tanager - this is the only photo I got so not sure it can be identified by this. #5 Western Wood Pewee - 2 photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Friedman Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 econded. Hepatic Tanager's a good bird to get around here. Were you in Bandelier? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexHenry Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Habitat seems probably better for Hepatic than Summer. But I’m not sure how this bird is actually being identified? Personally I’m not sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I’m not sure. I'm not sure either, but that bill is pretty dark. Certainly fits HETA better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about "ruling out", but the bill looked small and dark to me. The Ponderosa Pine also suggests Hepatic much more than Summer. But I've been wrong before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
