Tryngites subaureicollis
13 Aug.
Steve found one of these birds today and called me over to
see it. It was a juvenile with yellow legs, a bulky head and
neck, and dark scales on the back and wings. The bird was
of Pectoral Sandpiper size and the latter species was nearby
in comparison. The head of the bird reminded Steve of that of
a pigeon, while I noted its plower like habit of walking
and standing, although this habit was not as rigid as
in a real plower. Steve found the bird at Gas mine Ridge.

Steve shot a juvenile male today.
