Mark Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 This fellow was near the park here in San Antonio I always go to. It was on Friday 24 May, late afternoon. I thought Western Kindbird, but I didn't notice the white edge on the tail feathers as he flew around and I didn't notice any in the pics when I downloaded them. Couch's?

Jefferson Shank Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Here, I brightened and cropped the image. Now what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Both Cassin's and Western have pale outer webs to the outermost rectrices. The difference is that Western's outer webs are usually bright white and extend the length of the feather, while those of Cassin's are off-white or creamy or buffy and usually do not reach the base of the feather. I think that the bird is not identifiable to species given the photos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
