Field Notes

Description:

Pale brown to greyish in color. Red on very tip of wings. Crest. Bright yellow tipped tail.

Notes:

There were about 15 that I could see bathing themselves in water at the end of a driveway, and several that looked like they were eating flowers in a bush.

I've edited this spotting for you and moved the picture. i think the phone app isn't as powerful as working from a computer.

I agree. But tried to do that from my phone on the app and on the Internet site and couldn't seem to move them by dragging either way. Maybe I can only do it from computer?

Hi ksgullickson. I think you should "edit this spotting" and click and drag picture #3 to the #1 spot because it shows the lovely bird more clearly.
