JamesM Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Taken yesterday just east of Toronto. Thought it was a female brown headed cowbird but the beak doesn't look right. Not sure what it is. Any help to identify is very much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackburnian Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Different birds. For starters, look at tail length. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) I agree with blackburnian's IDs. 3 minutes ago, Charlie Spencer said: Both photos are the same bird, right? No, look at the tail length. The beak on the grackle is thicker as well. EDIT: blackburnian beat me!

JamesM Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Thank you all! I had been getting Grackles and Starlings at my feeder. Had to change the food to get rid of them. Cardinals and Finches are slowly returning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
