This 1st-Basic (molting into 1st-Alternate?) was photographed
in mid-February, 1996 at Corpus Christi Landfill, Texas by Willie
Sekula. Some more photos of this bird have been located, and I
have added them here. Please email
me with your thoughts as to the identity of this bird:
- note that there is some pale debris on the tip of the
bill that obscures the actual shape
