belliott 1 Posted December 3, 2019 These birds were apparently eating grit in a graveled road in SW Missouri in October. My best guess is Red-winged Blackbird, but I am pretty sure that is wrong.

akandula 966 Posted December 3, 2019 These are Pine Siskins. Note heavily streaked, brown overall, the small amount of yellow on the wings and the tail, and the sharp, pointed bill. Red-winged Blackbirds are noticeably larger and lack the yellow on the wings. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
