I think the characters separating these species is now better understood than in 1933. Or perhaps I should say, the difficulty in distinguishing them is better understood today. :) Roberson's "Monterey Birds" lists four sight records of adult Americans, all in full breeding plumage, and all in July. All others are juvs from late August through October. For what it's worth, I now lean toward the idea that all three birds on the following web page: http://fog.ccsf.edu/~jmorlan/oct99.htm ...are probably Pacifics, although #3 is still troubling. -- Joseph Morlan, Pacifica, CA 94044 [[email protected]] California Birding & new rarities http://fog.ccsf.org/~jmorlan/ California Bird Records Committee http://www.wfo-cbrc.org/cbrc/ _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
