Here’s a hint: pic taken today in Northern Michigan at a state park’s feeder. Happy guessing!

Hermit Thrush?
Some kind of thrush .. not a varied thrush.
Wood Thrush?
Purple Finch?
At a feeder? I was gonna go with my favorite singer the Wood Thrush, but — at a feeder?
Uh…
Wood Thrush. I got nothin’ else.
I’ll go with female Purple Finch.
Sorry everyone, but you’re all GROSSLY incorrect.
😉
Blue footed booby?
Well, it is not a Kirtland’s Warbler. Maybe it is GM’s new model???
Oh .. when I make that picture big I can see it is just a dumb old song sparrow. Or a blue-footed booby.
Okay, what about a Fox Sparrow then? Best I got.
female Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Or a Magnificent Frigatebird
Since you said gross, I’ll guess pine grosbeak.
First bad then gross. What did the bird do?
Albatross. Yeah, that’s it. Albatross.
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.
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!
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!)
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?

Just me rambling about birds, books, bunnies, or whatever!
