2013-08-04 Valle de las Garzas (Manzanillo), Mexico Flying flock. Even though the tail itself is not exactly white, the whole tail-rump party always leaves a white impression. |

2018-09-06 Laguna Cuyutlán (col), Mexico Basic plumage. The pale gray-white plumage can if not seen well be confused with both Lesser Yellowlegs and Stilt Sandpiper which both occur here too. The other phalaropes are more contrasting, especially with a stronger blackish mask around the eye. Apparently it isn't that common at sea level in this region, though I suspect that poor coverage rather than real scarcity is the main reason. Few birders at this time of year... I counted around 45 today. |

2018-09-06 Laguna Cuyutlán (col), Mexico Basic plumage. It looks like the bird in the middle has a buff colored edge to the tertials, why I ask if it could be a young bird. But perhaps the adult also shows this type of edge, and it in fact is an adult that just hasn't molted yet. Probably so, because I would also expect the juveniles to arrive later. |
