Books5220 Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Thanks guys! Thought it might be, but was unsure on the coloring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millipede Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 The color can vary a little but the lighting is not great to see the color in the pictures. In fact, my first glance at the back in the first picture I was thinking it was a junco. Then I saw the other poses where you could clearly see the breast color. Welcome... I had to reply just to say I was at the botanical gardens just last month. Another NW Arkansas birder here. 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, good, it wasn't just me. Maybe it's my monitor but I can't see any blue or russet in any of the photos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Botanical Gardens are nice, and some parts around the lake. Another other spots you'd recommend this time of year @millipede? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
