TheBirdSpot Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I saw a bird in the yard today that I have never seen... and was able to get a few photos through the window. Can anyone help me ID this bird? It was mostly grey with white around it's eyes and looked to be smaller than a robin. Located near Boise, Idaho today (Dec 18,2021). Thanks for your help! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy I was able to get a quick picture and grateful for this forum! Or else it would've just been an unidentified grey bird... Haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
