Charlie Spencer Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Lockwood Folly, Brunswick County, NC (between Wilmington and the NC / SC line). March 15, 2020 I had a tern vibe when it flew by but now the wings appear to be too far back for that, and too deep-chested. A shorebird, maybe? And yes, this is the only photo. Thanks for any help.

Tony Leukering Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I'd go with shorebird, but I don't see any suggestion of black wingpits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 No big deal. I already have confirmed Black-bellieds, and much better photos of them. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melierax Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 It looks like a gull to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millipede Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 spoonbilled sandpiper Sorry, I just had to throw something interesting out just for fun. I can barely make heads and tails here. The bill ALMOST looks upturned but I might be seeing things. I could almost see it being a gull or tern but I'm not good with profiles and such in flight... and would still lean shorebird... It's not the worst photo I've seen of a bird... I like sharing photos that stump people... ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
