Sturg Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I saw the bird pictured below this morning but I can't figure out what it is. It doesn't match any warblers, flycatchers or vireos that I could find. It has a distinctive white eye-ring along with a totally white breast. It was warbler / vireo sized. It also has the distinctive darker bottom edge to its cap that extends over its eye. Lower wings a brownish color and no distinctive barring on the wing that I can see. Any suggestions? Maybe a juvenile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delcecchi Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 OK, here is one for you. Daughter and son in law had this in the flower bed under the deck (deck is on second level, it is a walk out) House is in Vadnais Heights on north side of st paul. First thing I said was "quail" but that seems sort of unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creepworm Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) I used to raise them and can tell you without a doubt, that right there, is a bobwhite quail. Edited August 1, 2016 by creepworm eyeguy 54 and monstermoose78 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
