Uh...

Wood Thrush. I got nothin' else.; 29 June, 2009

RG said...: Well, it is not a Kirtland's Warbler. Maybe it is GM's new model???; 29 June, 2009
RG said...: Oh .. when I make that picture big I can see it is just a dumb old song sparrow. Or a blue-footed booby.; 29 June, 2009
Anonymous said...: Okay, what about a Fox Sparrow then? Best I got.; 30 June, 2009
Kathi said...: female Rose-breasted Grosbeak

Or a Magnificent Frigatebird; 30 June, 2009
Cindie Ulreich said...: Since you said gross, I'll guess pine grosbeak.; 30 June, 2009
MevetS said...: First bad then gross. What did the bird do?; 30 June, 2009
Beth said...: Albatross. Yeah, that's it. Albatross.; 30 June, 2009
Larry said...: Female RB Grosbeak-If that's the answer then you gave us too good of a clue-I was thinking that or female Purple Finch.; 30 June, 2009
RG said...: Well .. seems like the feet are not blue and the beak is not fat .. I guess a rose breasted booby

MAybe it's Laura headed for some of that famous Michigan Maple Syrup!; 30 June, 2009
LauraHinNJ said...: You all are just too much.

It was a female Rose Breasted Grosbeak... I never imagined it would be that difficult (or generate so many silly comments!); 01 July, 2009
Kathi said...: For my first guess, I just looked at the picture without magnifying it. I also didn't read very well, since I missed the fact that it was at a feeder. For my second guess, I enlarged the photo and then it was easier. I still didn't read too well, as I missed the "GROSSLY" obvious clue.

Hope you are having fun. See the Kirtland's yet?
