Millie: the bird is a female Red-winged Blackbird. You probably already know that by now, but.....

In backyard, at first on the pellet feeder and I thought that the Starlings had returned. :-( But then he dropped to the ground, and I got the binoculars and then got these photos with a definite eye stripe and yellowish coloring around the beak and throat. Bigger than a sparrow, but about the size of a small starling but thinner. From looking at my field guides, I am not sure but have an idea of what this is, but I am not about to post it--after my fiasco with the brown creeper a couple of wks ago.. There are 3 photos, cropped to get a closer look. https://picasaweb.google.com/kymillie/BirdsAndNatureStuff#559403240486300061 0 Millie Farmer St. Matthews, KY ================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBERS============== The BIRDKY Mailing List requires you to sign your messages with first & last name, city, & state abbreviation. -------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, send e-mail to: birdky@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send e-mail to: birdky-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject line. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the Kentucky Ornithological Society web site at http://www.biology.eku.edu/kos.htm * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * BIRDKY List Manager: Gary Ritchison, Richmond, KY E-mail: gary.ritchison@xxxxxxx ================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBERS============== The BIRDKY Mailing List requires you to sign your messages with first & last name, city, & state abbreviation. -------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, send e-mail to: birdky@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send e-mail to: birdky-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject line. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the Kentucky Ornithological Society web site at http://www.biology.eku.edu/kos.htm * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * BIRDKY List Manager: Gary Ritchison, Richmond, KY E-mail: gary.ritchison@xxxxxxx
