The shade of yellow, your characterization of the voice and the rufous of the underside of the tail appears to extend to the tip, whereas with something like the ash-throated this would be limited by a darker terminal marking. The brown-crested might deserve comparison.Mathewhttps://sites.google.com/site/mmslouis/johngerrardkeulemans(1842--1912)%3Aillustrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-83365266122995434012012-09-17T17:04:18.210-07:002012-09-17T17:04:18.210-07:00I'm impressed with myself.

Seems like almost everyone agrees on the ID, its hard to argue when the bird is calling.Seagull Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851438505719552645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-58511627024331346982012-09-17T12:37:51.987-07:002012-09-17T12:37:51.987-07:00Dipped on it yesterday afternoon (see what I did t...Dipped on it yesterday afternoon (see what I did there, I is learning), but got it this morning around 11:30. First heard it and got an unsatifying glimpse of it by the bench, but two homeless dudes smoking rocks and discussing their facebook updates likely were the reason it got pushed downstream. Moved down to the boardwalk where heard it call "wheep" 30-40 times within a 30 minute period (bursts of calls followed by long periods of silence) and got one great look and a few other quick looks. The great look showed the bright yellow breast, very rufous tail and thick bill. <br /><br />Definitely no expert but the markings were consistent with what you saw. FWIW, Steve Gerow told me he thought it was definitely good for Great-crested.<br /><br />Congrats and awesome find guys. Thanks for getting this post up so quickly.JKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16614141904786915153noreply@blogger.com
