Observation details
Rare but perhaps a returning bird (I’ve had Gambel’s here in multiple years); adult; pale lored, nice bright orangey bill with yellow-orange base; photos later Confusing at first when I got a brief but decent look at what appeared to be a straight forward gambelii type adult followed almost immediately by extended looks and photos of a more troubling, intermediate looking pale-lored adult in the same location. Finally, 40 minutes after photographing the second bird, I was able to get the first bird back up for good looks, a solid ID and good photos, I also eventually had both birds up for a reasonable comparison albeit not side by side.
