Hi Bryan, I'm guessing it is going to be tough to tease an absolute positive ID from the pictures, but for a tree to bark up, it really strikes me as a Hammond's..... Big headed, gray throat, bill looks short..... Getting some audio of a call might be the best bet, and often easier than pix. They'll often call in mornings, especially when a noisy mixed flock gets near. And they usually will have a territory you'll easily be able to relocate them in. I have had two wintering Empidonax here at Utopia in 10 years, both were Hammond's. good luck, Mitch Mitch Heindel Utopia Quoting Bryan Calk <bryancalk@xxxxxxxxx>: > Due to crap pictures, I think I know the answer to this question. > Can anyone make anything of this Empid seen today in Kinney Co, TX? > Seemed bigger than a Least (though I know size isn't always a good > judge), and was silent. > http://www.flickr.com/photos/bryan_calk/sets/72157638867015525/ > -Bryan Calk > College Station, TX Edit your Freelists account settings for TEXBIRDS at //www.freelists.org/list/texbirds Reposting of traffic from TEXBIRDS is prohibited without seeking permission from the List Owner
