sws Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 My wife was walking near Central Park and described a black bird with a yellow head that looked like a smaller crow. Could this be a Yellow Headed Blackbird in NYC? Any other options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melierax Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Hmm. If viewed from the back, I think a nonbreeding Scarlet Tanager could look like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sws Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 She says she saw it from the side - and looking at all three she says it was a Yellow Headed Blackbird. Pet that got away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been YHBB reported almost yearly even up in Vermont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
