    Not sure on this one Dave! It is a juvi though! I was thinking along the lines of an Oriole. My guess is the parent would have been nearby and that would help with the ID.

    hmm... it was smaller like a warbler..& I didn't see any orioles around..this was out in a praire or field but there were alot of trees near by. It was mostly messing around it bushy trees but poked out onto a apple tree to check me out.

    Well, I was captivated by your title, thinking I was going to see something from the dark recesses of our minds. Then I saw two great bird photos and realized that Id and ID are spelled the same... 11doh.gif

    I can't believe you stumped the 'pros' Dave. Nice job both with the pictures and the ID challenge. thumb.gif Wish I could help but I know nothing. :D

    Hi Dave, I went through my Thayers guide and this seems to be a Yellow Warbler, juvenile. Has all the markings that I can see. Nice captures. We see these birds around here a lot.
    Regards - Dennis
