Week 28, a Caspian? tern.

 

[Stoshowicz]

Since the light is going through the bill ,which is a bit open, its hard to tell if this is elegant or caspian from that, I believe the black on the underwing of the elegant tern is more restricted to the tips, so I think your ID is correct . Im not familiar with elegant , since we dont have that one, and so Im not sure if that part about the black is reliable.

 

[Roy1961]

had a look at the Elegant Tern (never heard of it) but according to the Google images I saw it has grey on the top of the wings, this was all white, but pretty similar, Thanks Stoshowicz, I will keep a look out for this tern.

Week 29, Rock Wren, another new bird for me.

 

[Roy1961]

Week 30, Blue Grey Gnatcatcher.

 

[Stoshowicz]

Do you have any shots of the under-tail on the gnatcatcher?

 

[Roy1961]

Lol, no i was asked that earlier, someone trying to confirm it, dug thru the trash looking for anything. You not convinced ? Its bluer and less grey than what the book and app shows.

sent from Pandora's 'Mr Bean' blue lagoon.

Bonus, Juvenile Green Heron .

I think youve got another choice , umm black capped gnatcatcher which I am not familiar with , except to say that the white on the undertail is more reduced on the end. Your ID is probably correct though, Im not saying it isnt.. except for the bittern ,which to me looks like an immature green heron.
