The picture taken on a very dark day may exaggerate this a bit, but not much. The very heavy crest suggests age, and a few years ago on the lake I noticed one of the regular birds darkening over the five years that I watched him -- this was too long ago for him to have been the same bird as pictured here.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-64704771756953773672013-03-16T09:45:20.377+00:002013-03-16T09:45:20.377+00:00Hi, nice blog!

Could it possibly be a semi-erythristic bird?<br /><br />GideonEarly Wormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11590391908461555265noreply@blogger.com
