kfhgw Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I took this picture today in Southwest Wisconsin. The orange is throwing me on what type of bird this is. I assume an immature bird but not sure which one. Thanks in advance Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I didn't know Purples had color variations like Houses. Aren't the adult male Purps always raspberry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
