Brown Booby

Thank You.

we had about 6 around us and they would plunge into the water after fish. Of course those pics turned out horrible

[armando_m]

Some kind of Ibis ...


Green tones in the wings when the light hits them in an specific angle , also under the wings but those shots are blurry

[wfooshee]

I come up with white-faced ibis, winter plumage (the white eye-mask goes away in winter, apparently.)

Sure looks like it ! thanks !

[billy320]

Probably a redtail but I have never seen one with so much white on it's back

[f86sabjf]

yep a red tailed. He may have posed for the pic in my book

[wfooshee]

Sandpipers confuse me. The differences are so small sometimes! This one confuses me by the lack of throat markings. Maybe a juvenile? I'm thinking Western or Semipalmated because of black beak and legs, but the pics I find are all still darker on the back, for the most part. Florida panhanlde if the location matters.

[f86sabjf]

my book says the least sandpiper lacks black legs. So not that one

i guessing on the semipalmated sandpiper from what I've read the western has a drooping beak at the end and this bird doesnt appear to have that. That seems to be the big difference between them .
