CLOSED: Identify This Bird Please Vol. 2

To me it looks like male house finches to the right, female house finches to the left. Maybe your feeder tray has a "mens" and a "ladies" side? :-)

They gather on my feeder also and the females don't have the color that the males have.

You guys are so patient - thanks! I put the wrong photo in.....it's the "other" bird, and they come in flocks of about 25 at a time.

Me thinks it's a female Red-winged Blackbird..

Oh! Now I see which bird, and definitely not a house finch! It's also definitely not a cowbird - we have those here and they are dark brown heads with black bodies. Looks larger than an average sparrow. We don't see those mixing with the finches here, but I will be interested to see what it is when somebody identifies it.

Wow Deb! You are right on! I never even thought to check my Peterson's for that !

I think that Debnes has it! Matches some pictures on the web. I only get RWBBs in the summer, and then only the male, but maybe I haven't noticed the females because of their different coloring. Now I will watch for them!

That white eyebrow is very distinct!

Awesome! Thank you, Resin!!

Thanks Resin...it was so far away but here's another not so good pic! Thanks again!

Dellrose, that looks like the same bird as mine. :)

I think so too Indiana! I've only seen it twice and it is a new bird for me. I saw it at the brush pile where I throw out cracked corn hoping to attract some Bobwhite Quail...no quail yet but it is a wonderful spot to watch for new birds.

Yep, Song Sparrow.

Resin

Thanks Resin..I really appreciate you being so helpful! Yippee...another new bird for me!

Who am I? I hang around with a couple of Juncos. Am I a Juvie Junco?

Another angle taken by a better photographer (BF)

Another ...

And this one is just too cute, I had to post it.

CMoxin, great timing on posting pic of the female RWBB for ID.

We had one yesterday at the feeder & didn't recognize what it was. I missed getting a pic both times it was out there. Thanks! :-)

Can't wait to hear what the ID is for Shan71 - I am stumped!

Could it be a song sparrow?

I agree with Frank, Song Sparrow

It kinda looks like my bird and Dellrose's bird, so maybe it is a Song Sparrow?

Here's one I've been pondering since August. Any clue who these guys are?

Hi Felicia~
I believe they are a male and female Brown-headed Cowbird.. The lighter one looks like a juvie, but both CB.

New thread starting in a mo . . . I'll put the link in once it's started
