Boyd Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Today, south of Truth or Consequences, NM on Choalla Reservoir I got this shot of what I thought was a Say's Phoebe but when I got back and put it up on the computer I saw it wasn't a Say's... What a delight, another lifer, 3rd in two days. Happy duck here. It's not a Say's, right? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesome55dove Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Nope, not a Say's Phoebe...it is a Kingbird...probably a Western but Cassin's is also a possibility. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egosnell2002 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Yep, Western. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boyd Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 ID'ing isn't so easy as I thought. Here's another picture showing less pronounced white on tail and dark eye patch. And then I added another pic I pulled off the web. Still wondering but will go with the final decision of my eagle eye friends here...Thanks for your help.

blackburnian Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I like Cassin’s here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egosnell2002 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 How come? The yellow extends high up on the breast, and the grey extending down is quite light, whereas on Cassin's it should be darker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
