Tony Leukering Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Impossible to sex, because the top of the crown cannot be seen in any of the pictures. And why a capital 'p' in the middle of the second word? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forecrown is definitely gray. You can see it in the second and third photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the second pic, the forecrown is not visible. However, lightening the photo does show a definite demarcation between red and gray on the mid-crown. So, a female.

akandula Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I didn't know there was something called a midcrown. That's interesting... really useful for describing birds like Collared Plovers. Thanks for the correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowerPoint, SharePoint, OneDrive, etc. Unfortunately, it's spread to other companies and the Internet in general. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pradsy90 Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 On the capital 'P' issue, another contributing reason is a hairy beer-bellied english teacher. Yeah birds do come in all types... :)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
