One note of caution for anyone who goes to look for this bird. On the
Hickory-Priest CBC in the same area where Frank found the
Yellow-headed, we found a partially albino female Red-winged Blackbird
that had a buffy/yellowish face and throat. That bird was clearly not
a Yellow-headed after a quick study due to the extensive white in the
tail and wings; it actually looks pretty striking both on the ground
and in the air. But, for about 30 seconds it got us excited. I told
Frank yesterday when he stopped by to show me the photos that it was
pretty funny that he found a real Yellow-headed there a week or so
after we found that other bird that had us thinking about it!
