I had an immature-type oriole this morning in Mississippi that I’m trying to string into a Bullock’s Oriole. I’m looking at the pale undertail (as opposed to orange), the very grey belly, and maybe a line thru the eye? Any opinions vs Baltimore Oriole?

Now I’m going to study colorful birds even harder 😤

Kettles are small and few and far between this morning. Ended up at about 175 Broad-wings. Mississippi hawk watching at its finest

Found a Lark Sparrow in Florida so pretty stoked

Counting birds on airfields this week

Tomorrow is the last day of our annual DoD PIF steering committee meeting, hosted at Ft. Carson this year. Highlight was Dr. Scott Somershoe spending a day with us to talk about PIJA and declining grassland birds! Plus I picked up my lifer Sage Thrasher, no complaints there
