Mark F Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I saw this bird today by San Francisco Bay. I'm guessing it's a Black Turnstone, but I wait to be corrected. Thanks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Great photo! Yes, with that contrasting black and white plumage, this is unmistakably a nonbreeding adult Black Turnstone. The similar Ruddy Turnstone has a browner back and orange (not dark) legs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark F Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 Thanks! I've only seen this bird once before, and not in this area close to home in the two years I've been here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
