The lifer roadrunners are absolutely bonkers here waking right up to me

Could I have a refresher on how to detect titmouse hybrids

BORRRRRING!!!!!! QUICK!!! Revoke his birding license!

Well that was compared to the above which was a second state record but I do love long tailed ducks

Another continuing bird that feels kinda boring comparatively

More pics

Yeah I’ve been seeing several that look good recently

Here’s different angle

Thanks here’s some more from today

Here

Here’s some more that I think look good for greater Scaup

Is this identifiable

Riley county Kansas today continuing bird

How about these two

Definitely mostly lesser but some looked really good for greater to me but I’m still not great with that identification

Today in Riley county ks not sure if these are identifiable

My family is taking a trip to Canyon TX next month. I’ve got college online so won’t have as much time as I’d like but should still be fun. Any advice on what to target/places to look for birds? Are canyon wrens found with any regularity anywhere near there?

Since I’m clearly the undisputed gull expert here… the little one I’m seeing is a Ring-billed gull but not sure that’s the one you were referring to? I also think I’m seeing American Herring, Western, and a Glaucous- winged gull in there. May be incorrect or may have missed a species or two.

Compared to this pic of this particular bird. I think it was wishful thinking

I was comparing it to my second cycle AHGU from a month ago and convinced myself that the head/Bill was smaller and the primary projection longer. Probably just posture

BRDL 1456

And here I was thinking it looked pretty good… I keep doing that. Head/Bill shape wrong?

Of the adult bird. Thayer’s or small AHGU?

Pale iris on that second bird seen in a different shot I’ve got so thinking AHGU

And this one. File was too large somehow so screenshoted it

Here are two of the more interesting shots I got I think.
