I agree with Diane that these ?2? birds are very similar. But to double
check, I did a side by side comparison in a very old version of MS Paint.
Sorry for the clumsy display.. I could have done a better job had i gone
to photoshop on another computer. However I think it's sufficient to state
they are different birds. Look closely at the coloration around the eye.
They are consistently different between Potlatch on the Right and Heron on
the Left. Another potential factor of these being different birds in spite
of their overall rarity, as John as documented. They could well be
siblings from the same pairing/same brood.

Tweeters as we do on OBOL in Oregon.
