Subject: [birdky] question re: new visitor.


> There was a new visitor at my feeder on my deck yesterday morning. I have
never seen a bird like this before and wondered if anyone would know what it
may have been. At first I thought it may have been a starling, and I am
still leaning in that general direction. It was about that size and shape.
But reddish brown, like a brown thrasher. Kind of spotted. Had orange on the
top of its wings. It was not a brown creeper or anything else I have seen
before. Are there variants of starlings that are brown like this? Always
thought they were very blackish. Only got a quick look before it was gone.
No other details I can remember. Just wondering.
