Re: Ready... Set.... Mystery Bird!
The species is bird and the sex is either male or female. Close enough?

Re: Ready... Set.... Mystery Bird!
I wish we had nuthatches... None, thus far.
The above goldfinch is the "Are you my Mommy?" famous, Dr. Seuse bird. :smile:

Grosbeak is right. Rose Breasted is not.
What kind of Grosbeak?

Re: Ready... Set.... Mystery Bird!
The female on this site looks just like Jennie's picture. I think CT got it! I tried looking it up in my Peterson's guide and the female is obscured. In the NGS Field guide, the picture is much better.

Re: Ready... Set.... Mystery Bird!
Cool Texan, we'll take you sometime!
If you don't quit, I'll have to move this to the fishing forum!
I have fished one from a bank, but the conditions have to be pretty perfect, or use one of those side planers.

Ah plunking. Often read about, never attempted. Effective?
