- Comments: "Amazing find by Ant T. (again) and big thanks to Case F. for refinding and sharing today. Challenging to identify. Medium sized, between herring and ring-billed, round-head, yellow bill, bright pink legs, much lighter underwing than herring.
"If we had not had a Christmas Bird Count in those early years, we would not have as strong an understanding of long term bird trends. Many of these changes take place gradually." - Chan Robbins, legendary biologist, retired USFWS employee, and creator of the North American Breeding Bird Survey
