Thank you Leuba, Yes, that is a Sea Rod in pic 3. There are several in this reef area of, I believe, the same species as the one in the photo. I took a better photo of a larger one for a spotting, but I am not sure of the species. Here is that spotting: https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/17...
Just a note: Only the 2 in the center (red face) are Turkey Vultures (Cathartes aura). The other 4 (2 in front and 2 in back) are Black Vultures (Coragyps atratus)
I think that is a very young (juvenile) Florida Pompano like this; https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/marin...
But not 100% sure.
Oh yes, thank you. Even in the shadow you can see the white throat, on closer inspection. Beak seems more slender also.
Thank you.
Ava, thank you so much. With your suggestions and a more focused scrutiny, I'm confident it is indeed a Say's Phoebe.
That would be my guess above. See what you think. Not super confident when it comes to IDing little brown months.
Not 100% sure, but that is my suggestion above. The scientific name notation is because "it's a hybrid species of flowering cherry, the result of a cross between Prunus incisa (Fuji cherry) and Prunus campanulata (Taiwan or bellflower cherry).
Not an expert! To me it looks most like the suggested ID above. Looks too large and thick for Enodia sp. to me.
