Most responded correctly that the sleeping songbird is an American Goldfinch
in basic (winter) plumage. The forked, black-and-white tail and overall
drab coloration are the best clues. Without a size comparision, a female
Evening Grosbeak would be the only other good candidate, but the overall
tone of the dull gray color would be a bit different. Thanks to Barb Putnam
for the uniquely suited "quiz" photo.
