Title: Another unknown bird
Post by: bobcat on May 28, 2008, 11:54:28 PM: Got a couple more birds that came in to the bird feeder. Actually they were sitting on the ground under it picking up whatever the other birds had dropped. Unusual looking birds. I've got no clue what they are, except one's a male and the other's a female. Anybody?

We had a Crossbeak finch visit us last year. At first I thought it was some weird deformity.
