GREENS HANK. 



155 



underparts arc much less distinct than in hrceding-pluniagc, but much 

 more so than in winter dress, extending across tlic throat and far on the 

 sides of the breast. Birds of the year are intermediate between young in 

 first plumage und adult in winter plumage. Young in down are pale 

 chestnut-grey, marbled with black on the upper parts, and nearly white 

 on the underparts. 



The uniform brown secondaries of the Greenshank serve to distinguish 

 it at all ages and seasons from the Dusky Redshank and the Redshank.
