Hi Andrea! Please consider joining my GTA mission and submitting this capture! http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8531781 Thanks : )
I'm going to have to go with your judgement, since I'm don't know much about different species :) I'm happy that you were able to identify it!
Hi Andrea. It's a bit hard to ID this bird from the photo as it is more like a sillouette. I think it is a male Brown-headed Cowbird because of its dark eye, brown head, sharp finch-like bill and blackish body. What do you think?
