floraphile Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Jun 2017 Pinellas co. FL I counted this as a Great Black-Backed Gull, but ebird reviewer said it was more likely a Kelp Gull. Now listed as Larus sp. per his suggestion. I may have posted this one on WhatBird before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does look very similar to a kelp gull. You should put it on the bird ID forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floraphile Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 When I took this pic, this gull seemed incredibly exhausted. For most of the time, he just sat on the beach with the other "usual suspects" (Laughing Gulls, various tern spp., peeps) going about their business around him. He was monstrous in size compared to the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo you are referencing is of a Whooping Crane. Note the bands on the legs (WHCR is endangered and all birds from the four different populations are closely monitored) as well as the all white plumage with red crown and black markings on the face. The bird in Modoc County CA was a Common Crane, which is an old world vagrant. They are different species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floraphile Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Red Cockaded Woodpecker. 2013 Alabama. Native here but critically endangered. Successful artificial nesting site/longleaf ecosystem restoration. Several birds in residence in communal nesting among adjacent trees. Missed a shot of the birds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
