They have been driving me crazy. I would guess Hammond's because the beak is a bit stubby and greyish.

I have been looking at a ton of Pac-slopes this fall though, so am pretty comfortable with this bird not being one.Seagull Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851438505719552645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-59315654792722879842012-09-24T17:37:28.114-07:002012-09-24T17:37:28.114-07:00I am beginning to think you all just set me up. Al...I am beginning to think you all just set me up. Alas, either way, there goes a year's worth of work. I should probably start a new website too, with a new new pseudonym, and maybe resume a geology hobby, where long primary projections and un-broken eye rings do not ruin my life. Or I'll just focus on the tobacco dip company. Dunno...everything is in flux now, need to sort shit out.<br /><br />In my case Jen, it will not cost very much to ship (they charge by weight you know, after the flat fee).<br /><br />Anyway I wouldn't say the beak is so short. The Pac-slopes I saw in Arizona had full eye-rings...maybe I'm just bitter. I've had to loo at lots of co-worker pictures of Mourning Doves to get that reputation you know.<br /><br />Steven, a deal is a deal. I will mail you reputation, but only if you have a residential address amidst your perpetual weekend. If you do provide an address, then I might call you out on not really being on a perpetual weekend birding holiday, and that would hurt your Global Birding Ranking Scale, which would make me feel better.Laurence Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766876797454283812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-84085973937738070352012-09-24T13:04:57.484-07:002012-09-24T13:04:57.484-07:00Haha, thanks!Haha, thanks!Jen Sanfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932953314258705622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-82964900258474939922012-09-24T13:04:26.929-07:002012-09-24T13:04:26.929-07:00Thanks for taking a look at it...

The bill is too short. Pacific-slopes also frequently have a break at the top of the eyering, which this bird lacks. Laurence, you may send me your reputation at your leisure via postal service.<br /><br />Primary projection is a great field mark to know but can be misleading if dont get to see the bird from many angles. I would lean towards Hammond's on this one; the alternative is Dusky.<br /><br />I havent heard a solitaire sing in a long time; such a good song.Seagull Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851438505719552645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-47643588103576879442012-09-24T08:26:41.374-07:002012-09-24T08:26:41.374-07:00The Prairie Falcon is the coolest!

In fact, I'm willing to stake ALL of my experience and reputation on it.
