Folks,
Attached is a photo of a bird I found singing in a pine on top of Whitetop Mt.
by the radio towers (above 5,000 ft.) this afternoon. Initially from a distance
I thought it was a Junco, but the song was all wrong and it was blue vs. slate
colored among other things. Then I thought perhaps it was an immature male
Indigo Bunting molting from brown to blue (still my best guess). But again, the
song didn't sound right for an Indigo Bunting either and there is white on the
belly. Wish the photo was of better quality (light issues) and not so grainy
(distance of about 75 feet to the tree top). Thoughts/suggestions are
appreciated... Thanks....
