Kevin Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I saw these birds in Uvalde Co. TX. mid May. Were in small flocks (about 3-6), they acted much like chickadees or titmice. They were very active, I had a very hard time getting a photo. I know this photo is horrible photo, but thanks for any ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Looks like a female House Finch to me. The behavior sounds right too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Could they be Bushtit? Or maybe Hutton’s Vireo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melierax Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I'm not seeing any stripes on the belly... I'm also seeing white outer tail feathers. Chipping Sparrow is what came to mind for me. Here is a lightened version: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not have binoculars with me at the time, but I thought they were mostly/all grayish colored. The pink legs do fit though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
