Craig1 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 It is a juvenile I got that much figured out, maybe. He/she is all alone, all the other families have fledged and comming in in groups. I'm guessing little cowbird. 50:1 I am wrong :) Files are still loading out there. https://imgur.com/a/6C63rwZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig1 Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 Imgus didn't work very fast, and I screwed up I think I copied twice, Here is one photo on Imgur. I wanted the birdie to look at me so I could show you the streaking on the belly.

The Bird Nuts Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) This looks fine for a young Brown-headed Cowbird to me. Young mockingbirds lack the streaking on the back and are grayer with lighter bellies and white markings on the wings and tail.

Charlie Spencer Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) The bill isn't long or pointy enough for a Northern Mockingbird. Odds are it's a Brown-Headed Cowbird, but give us your location just to be sure. EDIT: SNIPED!

Craig1 Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) Southern portion of NW Wisconsin. 1/4 mile from the St Croix River river. Little Cowbird, begs the question who raised the little one. Very docile, hangs around the Juvy Cardinals; but there is so many new fledglings this time of year. Who knows.

Craig1 Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 Come to think of it, there is a family of Grosbeak coming in at the same time, ahforgetit, it will forever be a mystery. Snipped from All About Birds: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
