two males and one female (nearest bird) NOTE: eBird tags seem to only show female, although males are entered as such in manage media
Observasjonsdetaljer
All were brown immatures/juveniles (I don't think any were eclipse males, but that is possible). These birds were working the shallow waters at the margins of the cove and in the stream outflow. I was surprised to see so many in the intertidal areas, but perhaps they move to these shallow, muddy-bottomed areas post-breeding. There were groups of 8, 10, and 7. I spent a fair amount of time studying the plumages and appearance, feeling that I could sex them. Note the female's darker brown eye, browner face and throat, and limited white in both greater coverts and secondaries. She is also slightly smaller with smaller (less deep) bill.
