rts58 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Hi, Just joined to identify this bird. Been looking through books and internet and have no idea. Seemed to have similar coloring to a Ruddy Turnstone. But the wing pattern and shape seemed different than the pictures I found. I was on a walk around noon on Sunday April 28, 2019 in Squantum Point Park which is on the waterfront in Quincy, MA. Sorry the picture is very poor. Just had my iphone, and as soon as I stepped closer it flew off into the trees. I think the bird is about the size of a robin, seemed smaller than a blue jay. I took the pic because I'd never seen a bird with this coloring. Any clue what this beautiful bird is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean C Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Looks like it may be a domestic Rock Pigeon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Pretty sure it's a leucistic American Robin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rts58 Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Thanks! It really didn't seem to have the profile or move like a pigeon. I did an image search for leucistic American Robin and some of the results looked pretty close to what I saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
