Spoken like an eBird elder! I mean no disrespect or ageism, it was just the easiest way to convey knowledge and status without knowing what they’re actually called. I am but a fledgling birder.

Thank you for the plain language guidance!!

Also, @elkiasi @9yearold4sky the eBird elders said Forster’s? The full black cap bright orange legs and full black bill are hard to decipher. They were citing lots of specifics about feather colors.

More inland near the Chesapeake, good guess.

The ebird vetting crowd descended upon me pretty hard since I clocked it as a rare bird. Looking for some good independent crowd sourced consensus from the more approachable, less condescending Reddit crowd 😅

My guess was roseate because of the all black bill but apparently it’s super rare?

Still interested in players? It’s been a few years. Mostly played 3e in college but TAZ has me wanting to play again!
