Field Notes

Description:

Mostly black, brown, and tan in color. Distinctive black feathers on top of head (looked like spiked hair) and two white stripes down abdomen.

Notes:

This bird was hopping from branch to branch along side a small river by my house. He seemed bothered by my presence so I apologize for the bad pictures.
