Kevin Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Sorry, your bird was black, somehow I missed that. ? It would be pretty early in the year for one, but it sounds like a Rose-breasted Grosebeak. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Rose-breasted_Grosbeak/id 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Welcome to Whatbird! Is it possible the red feathers are on the shoulders, not the neck? https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-winged_Blackbird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karishmabrough Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 no it was definitely his neck that the red feathers were on they even looked fluffy,no white haven’t seen him again sigh he’s never been here before that I know about and since I’m in a physically compromised situation he could have visited another time he flittered from one branch to another just showing off lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Orchard Oriole? https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Orchard_Oriole Birds can fluff up their feathers when they're cold and lay them down when they're not, so fluffiness isn't a reliable ID feature.

MWM Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Kind of a shot in the dark, but Red-whiskered Bulbul came to mind. It's an introduced species to South Florida (and CA?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
