Unknown spotting commented on by andyarct Eureka, California, USA8 years ago

In the all about birds harrier link, from Jellis, the light morph rough-legged hawk is listed as a similar species . I think that's what this is, though it's hard to tell from the picture they provide.

Thanks Joshua for the correct suggestion, confirming my original suspicion.

Western Tanager commented on by andyarct Arcata, California, USA10 years ago

Actually, Ashley, after a little searching and comparing, it does look very much like a female Western Tanager! And, we DO have residents around here. So, I'm leaning towards it being a WT, but I'd like a second opinion before I'm sure. Thank you for the suggestion!

White-crowned Sparrow (Juvenile) commented on by andyarct Arcata, California, USA10 years ago

Aha! I have never seen nor heard that about White-crowns before. I have lots of pictures of juvenile W-c.s, but they're all more than 20 days old, evidently! Thank you very much, Ashley!!

Thanks for the info Karen! I don't know about 'giant American millipede' though...it's only about 3'' long.
