Corey Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Is this a Myrtle yellow rump because it has only white on the throat? I see local people on ebird distinguish the two on their checklists. Southern Nevada. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Particularly in the West, beware of intergrades. The throat is not the only distinguishing characteristic. https://cobirds.org/CFO/ColoradoBirds/InTheScope/71.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Friedman Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 It's nice to distinguish the subspecies because that gives at least a little information on where they're from. Also, someday they may be considered separate species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
