Steve Foss Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Agreed. Looks like she's fluffed up to preserve heat and gathering in the weak November sun's rays. Not by any means common around Bemidji, but they have been seen there, and during migration anything can happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Shutterbug Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I shot one once, but it was in Kentucky and it was a male. Until you posted this, I didn't realize females were yellow. Like an old expired friend used to always tell me, "You're never too old to learn, if you're not too dumb." How true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleyeRyummy Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 summer tanger was also my guess, however, after looking at the birds typical habitat, i was not confident. he was at my feeders for several days, and definately stood out from my standard visitors!
