I have had two emails with some questions about the bird I photographed yesterday fitting field marks established for Greater Pewee. I have excerpted field marks/descriptions from* The Sibley Guide to Birds of North America*, Cornell's 'All About Birds' online website, National Audubon Society's 'Audubon Birds' website and *Birds of North America *online and posted them on my Birds and Nature blog <http://BirdsAndNature.blogspot.com>in a easier to read columnar format--with my estimation of whether this bird meets the field mark noted to the right of each one. I have added small photos after a few to show where I am getting my view.
I welcome constructive criticism and would ask that you be specific as to which source and which field mark. Interesting finding: some describe upperparts/plumage as gray and a few say brown. Also several say 'slight crest' while Sibley says 'pointed crest.'
