Field Notes

Description:

I definitely recognize that pattern of white on the back of this bird as the one I affectionately call "Honey Badger." Does anyone have a guess on sex?

Habitat:

Spotted on vines covering trees near an uncultivated area next to a mining operation in Kennesaw, GA.

Notes:

You can compare to these previous spottings:

And maybe this early one (because the belly band seems to match one above....)
