I got my first Costa's in my yard in eight years of trying.
This gets me 6 species with 3 more possible but highly
unlikely.
My patio camera set up allows for a lot closer inspection
and the resulting tail shots are really puzzling. I was very
lucky to get both sides of the tail. Note the shape of the
rectrices. Per my observation, they seem shaped like an
adult male yet still have the white tips. Per the Williamson
book there should be a thin line black going through the
white.
Am I looking at this wrong?
