Hello all,
One LBBG caught my eye today among 15 or so in with Ring-billeds. I thought it looked odd with such a bold bill ring, but Sibley's guide illustrates 3rd yr as showing this feature. I couldn't locate it for certain after it flew, finding one bird with a bill ring but also the red gonydeal spot. Perhaps just the same bird but at a better angle?
Anyway, I'm interested in what people have to say on this (rather poor) image, although I'm expecting that it's just an older imm. LBBG.
