Name that bird!!

[Gatores]

So I thought at first this was a young robin but don't think it is because of the wings and the size. It is about the size of a finch. It has been feeding off the nectar feeders not the seed feeders.

Can anyone help me out?

Orchard Oriole. Another nice find!

Looks like a female or immature rose breasted grosbeak to me. They are about the size of a finch. Triangle beak is the tell tell sign of a grosbeak

Here is another view of it.

Very dark brown underside like a robin.

Not thinking

Not even close to a Rose Breasted Grosbeak. The beak is also wrong for a RBG.

Here's a vid of an RBG:

yepper, orchard oriole. the female is kinds light green.

[Gatores]

Here is a female orchard oriole I think. I have a couple of them around the nectar feeder.

[eyeguy 54]

That one is an immature male. The female looks a lot like that but no black under the beak. Nice capture.

[Gatores]

Ok so maybe this is a female?!?

[eyeguy 54]

looks like it is to me.

[Gatores]

I have quite a few of them. Every day I see a new bird. I am sure the Turtle River in my back yard has something to do with that. So my first Indigo bunting today too. My husband (Gatores- I am using his screen name)saw it first and that it was pretty cool!

[eyeguy 54]

This must be the year of the orchard oriole. I saw my first one ever about two weeks ago thurs on a visit to NW Iowa where my mother lives. She can't remember ever seeing one before either and she has been feeding Baltimore orioles for years. We almost missed it, too, since it was the dozens of goldfinches working over her thistle and safflower feeders that were the big draw. I lost count at over 2 dozen males at one time on one of her trios of thistle feeders. Mom has goldfinches around all year, but there must have been flocks passing through that day. The numbers went back to normal the next day.
