Quiscalus quiscula Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Hmmm, streaks on sides, wingbars. Bill looks largish, but I'm unsure whether it's too large for a warbler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colton V Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 This is making me very frustrated! The bill looks perfect for a bluebird but shouldn’t the plumage be spotted? For all the birds that the bill looks good for, the plumage doesn’t seem to match. I just can’t place it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay my life list is over million then too. Add in 10s of thousands of Cackling Geese in the winter in Colorado and probably as many Ring-billed Gulls...One trip to Quivira NWR in Kansas boom another few thousand birds. Over a thousand Yellow-headed Blackbirds. Thousands of Red-winged Blackbirds.... 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerri Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 This one is driving me crazy. So far I've contemplated mockingbird, thrushes (bluebird/robin), flycatchers (alder?)....now I'm off to review warblers sigh.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knew there was a Salt Water Marsh in Kansas?!? Great place for migrating birds. There is cool furniture store near there in Great Bend, Kansas I really like because they employee people with learning disabilities. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 Let's try to keep the discussion on quiz bird identification, y'all. ? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 So far, I've received 8 submissions but only 1 correct answer! Most are quite far off the base, so I'll provide a hint to help y'all along! HINT: This is a habitat specialist species! Take a look at what's in the picture. The species is very dependent on certain plant species and the associated invertebrates that are found on them. Don't let its appearance fool you, it may be a very colorful species! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
