Greenfinchby hajekaComment: Finch family, for sure. Seems to match the foliage. I see that birds like to "hide" in leaves/flowers of similar color. It's a camouflage thing. |

Common shelduckby hajekaComment: I always appreciate the sharp focus on the head with slight motion blur in the wings. It really communicates flying motion to me... in a very pleasant way. |

Herring gullby hajekaComment: I enjoyed reading about these birds. 1st and/or 2nd winter. Our eagles develop mature coloration in a similar manner... 3rd year. |

Fantastic image- shows him off beautifully! Is it common for them to be found on other animals? |
Up here in the mountains, we only find starlings at the horse and cattle ranches. Thanks for your comments. |

Good shot! I always look for the black leading edge on the underside of the wings. |
Thanks! That dark leading edge on the wings is called the patagial marks. It is the key field ID marking for the RTH. Only the RTH has patagial marks. |
