Great shots of whatever they are

OOPS sorted now, I had forgotten about this thread.

Ok I'll give you a clue, they were all taken in Cuba earlier this year and apart from the Sanderling and the LRP I have no idea what the other two are.

... shouldn't the poser at least have the correct answers to hand ... ... let alone remember to come back to his Q at least ... :shrug:



Guess you got some researching to do then Mike ...

Last one is a Yellow Warbler which has red streaks on its breast(nothing original about that must admit, think Yellow hammer would do.

There are two species of cormorant in Cuba
Double-crested Cormorant, Phalacrocorax auritus
Neotropic Cormorant, Phalacrocorax brasilianus
So take your pick

Hi,

think as you say the Cormorant is a Double Crested one as listed HERE

Still unsure about the yellow one, still searching.....

Mike.

 

[mikeyb]

The last one is definitely a Yellow Warbler (Dendroica petechia) as can be seen HERE

Ok so everyone happy now.....

Mike.

Thanx Mike ...
