Re: Help! More Bird Confusion

[Paul Stenquist]

I found my copy of “Birds of Michigan” and checked to the Pine Siskin photo. 
Maybe. But my bird ha a longer beak and bigger eyes with goggles like a Thrush. 
The wing markings are correct, but my bird has much longer legs. Still not sure 
about this one.

I’m leaning more toward the female Redwing Blackbird as suggested by Mathew 
Hunt. The long legs, head markings and feather color are in synch with that 
bird.

Both this and the thrush photos are really nice, Paul. No idea what any

Thanks Ken. I have that book but I've been working, soI didn't really look but 
will now. That's two votes for Pine Siskin. A landslide!

This may be Thrush week in Michigan, which makes sense, since it’s time 
for migration and we’re just off the fly route for birds that crossed the 
lower great lakes. In any case, this appears to e another Thrush, but a 
different species from yesterday’s. Maybe a Song Thrush or a Mistle 
Thrush? T he buff stripe over the eye suggests it’s a Redwing Thrush, but 
there’s not a hint of red to be seen.  Some sparrows have similar markings 
but not that long a beak as far as I know. Many of you know more than I, 
so let fly.

Or female Pine Siskin?  (Not a finch.)
(All I have mentioned are on the Audubon list of recent sightings in the 
Midland MI area.)

Female Rosebreasted Grosbeak. Maybe. Beak doesn't seem quite gross enough... 
Also maybe Thrasher? But too many stripes on the back...

I think it may be a female Red-winged Blackbird. The thrushes you named are
not North American.

That beak makes me think it might be a finch, and a quick search online reveals 
something called a Purple Finch, which looks similar. But plenty of other 
people know far more about these things than I do.
