Birding was fun and challenging today - the sun and haze was right in my face as I tried to identify a bird. A seasoned birder was in the area and pointed out that we had a female Shiny Cowbird - you be the judge.
 |
| Bill looks thin and pointed which would indicate a Shiny |
 |
| A pale throat which would point to Brown-headed |
 |
| Here the plumage looks streaked - pointing to a Brown-headed |
 |
| Streaked belly again |
 |
| Here the bill is definitely pointy - like a Shiny |
 | |
| Those wings - definitely rounded which points to a Shiny Cowbird. |
