How about you Luvsthebestdogthatthereis? Do you have a mystery bird?

I didn't think about the responsibility that came with a correct answer :-{ Darn

Can someone pick up the ball here?

Sorry,
Junebug

Hey I have one........

Indigo Bunting?

You are just too smart... We have a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK I'll try this one...forget that it is a horrible photo and I missed the opportunity of a life bird but here it is. (And this was the good one LOL!!)

Juney sound like you like Danes!! ☺

American Goldfinch?

Not that...

Oh..I see it now...Scarlet Tanager?

Vermillion Flycatcher?

I have 3 Danes Juney!! and a bulldog too!

Not yet Rose!! ☺

My last guess...Summer Tanager?

No ):o

Now I am really curious!!

I'll give a hint since I Have to leave for work soon. It is a immature female...(at least that is what the spotter told me!!)

Does this help?

I was looking at the reddish bird up in the upper left hand corner! LOL!

Well, I've got it confirmed in my own mind as to what it is, but I'm not saying a thing until I can back it up with a photo challenge of my own.

Rose I didn't even see that LOL!!

Off to work I go, I'll check back at 11:30ish!!

White-winged Crossbill

Resin

and another,,,,,,,,

another,,,,,,,,,,

and the last one,,,,,,,,

I thought it might be a porthonotary warbler,,but its just not right,,,,,,,,

An American Goldfinch with leucistic ("washed-out" colour tones) plumage

Resin

Thanks Resin,,,,,,,,,I knew he was a really beautiful bird but could not find him in my research,,,,,,,,His wing markings threw me,,,,,,,I hope he is here in the morning,,,,,,,,,I will set up my blind and try for a quality pic or two,,,,,,,It is snowing hard here at nightfall so he will probably still be around,,,,,,,,I put out fresh food so will be waiting for him,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,The other birds are not very sociable with him(or her) and run him off all time,,,,,,,,,Roy

Wow what a lovely Goldfinch!

Isn't he tho,,,,,,,I sure hope he is still around tomorrow morning and it is calm enough weather for me to get a few pics,,,,,,Roy

2vernes, he's beautiful, same things happen to a leucistic Redpoll, I had a week ago.
He would show up alone to feed. that's unusual for Redpolls.

Yay Resin I knew you would know it!!

Pretty Goldfinch 2vernes, almost looks tropical!

These are common here but I've never had them at the feeder. They were here yesterday, but no sign of them today.

And another. This guy needs a napkin.

Pine Siskins?

Yup!

Not much of a challenge but it took me a minute since I don't see long beaks at the feeder except the woodies.

I have one, its been hanging around the feeder all day. Size of a sparrow, olive green color with some yellow under its chin. Is it a flycatcher, vireo or warbler. I welcome any suggestions about this one.

Looks like a female painted bunting to me. Do you have them there?
