Help ID a bird
« on: June 16, 2021, 03:46:50 PM »
Have seen these a couple of time over 15 years but much more common this year. Think it is a yellow bunting. Our reference books for KS say possible but unlikely however we have created quite a bird haven.

On another site several people are saying a juvenile female Oriole. It is that size.

Personally I think all options offered so far are wrong. Sadly I have no idea what is right. I see what I think the same bird here in Alabama from time to time. I never see it long enough to get a photo and rarely even a half decent look.

If it is the same it's a fairly uncommon bird here as I see it at most a couple times a year.

I've looked in my bird books and online and have yet to find anything I think is it.

If I were guessing, I'd say a
mockingbird dusted with powdered
sulphur,  but I know that's not right

Edit- the few warblers I've ever
seen were shorter of body and
more rounded like a sparrow

In my bird book I found a bird that is very close in looks a Golden Bowerbird. check with your local bird watchers people. Might even be a young bird that has not got all his or her colors yet.

I agree tat it is not a meadowlark unless there is a variety that is vastly different from the ones I have seen all my life. I know that there are different varieties of Orioles. It looks nothing like the juveniles we have here.

This is the bird I've been seeing here in Bama and was unsure of what it was.



Link says it is a female goldfinch which is what I was kinda suspecting. I saw it again today and got a better look than normal at it. They sure don't stay still long enough for a photo at my house.

Goldfinches are abundant here. They will eat you out of house and home if you put out thistle seed. The males in their summer coat are very hansom, bright yellow and jet black.
