Sorry for the blurry photo. Definitely seemed to be a female Indigo Bunting.
One of several seen during silhouette survey for bioblitz. Head barely visible above water. Confirmed by several DEM amphibian experts.
ID for bird
With a Willet
It stopped to drink the sweat off my leg
Plovers are back on Long Beach!
Can’t tell if it’s a mallard or not.
Would you mind looking at this @scmayo ? Sorry for the bad pics. On the last pics of the grounded ibis, I consistently see a white mark on the face. Does that mean anything? Not sure this is clear enough as usual. On photo2 colors seem like a purplish maroon iridescence at the front of the body, a pine green metallic at the end of the wings. Not sure whether that matters.
I think I can see red at the base of the neck and another observer said she could see red clearly on her pics.
