Hi All,
Thanks to everyone who participated in this little bird ID exercise. That first
picture was tough, and only one person, Rod Bodkin, made the correct ID from
that photo.
The bird was a juvenile Eastern Towhee or Rufous-sided Towhee as some of you
called it.
Forty-nine guesses were made. The most guesses after the first photo were for
House Finch. After the second photo Eastern Towhee was guessed most. Here are
the species guessed, listed from most guesses to least.
Eastern Towhee
House Finch
Brown-headed Cowbird
Dark-eyed Junco
Pine Siskin
Northern Mockingbird
Dicksissel
