Miss Marge Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I snapped this bird in the middle of a field on July 25 at Dana Point, Orange County, California. Can anyone tell me what bird this is? The beak looks finch-like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKLland Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 It’s a pin tailed whydah, but it’s a male, not female. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
