(I dont travel far for birding by take it seriously and scientifically). A few years ago I clicked a colony of cormorants which are not fitting into the species expected to be seen in terms of both apparent structure and coloration. Since there are multiple birds in different angles and directions, the color difference is not light as some eBird reviewers suggested. Hence I think morphometry would help compare the birds to species expected in this part of the world. Plan is to make standardised measurements of the beak and head and compare the ratios to known species to determine if it falls within the variations for those species. I only have photographs and no reference rulers. Hence use of ratios. I would be grateful if you can guide me Able Lawrence Dr Able Lawrence MD, DM Professor, Dept of Clinical Immunology & Rheumatology, SGPGIMS, Lucknow INDIA - 226014 Email: abledoc at gmail.com able at fibromyalgia.app able at myositis.in +91 522 249 *4315* (office) +91 9984648333 (mobile) +91 800490 *4391* (CUG mobile) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
