Adam, your mystery bird is truly intriguing. The distinctive tapered bill
shape would suggest that this is some species of oriole, but the red color
is very unusual. The white wingbars and tertial edges also suggest oriole.
The backlighting makes it difficult to assess the color accurately, but the
bird sure does appear to be red (or at least bright reddish-orange) for the
most part. At the moment, I cannot think of any oriole that would typically
show this color!
You mentioned that you got a couple of photos -- does the other one show
another angle?

Hi all,
Nancy Nabak and I visited FBMR today. We did not see the Red Crossbills, but
we met a couple down there who had seen them earlier in the morning in the
evergreens NW of the parking lot.
While walking the trails around the first wooded area we had a
BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER and 2 BOBWHITE QUAIL crossing the path ahead of us.
I then got a quick glimpse of a red bird near the road and was able to get a
couple quick shots but it did not stick around long enough to ID. Any help
would be great.
