Title: unknown bird
Post by: dizzy on September 21, 2017, 06:33:34 PM

Hi,

I was cleaning up my pictures on my hard drive and found this bird. Does anyone know what this is. The photo was taken at tommy thompson park in late August of 2016.

Thank you

Greatly Appreicated.

It's hard to gauge the bird's overall size. The beak looks like a Tanager.
Perhaps a female, or non-breeding male Scarlet Tanager.
I've attached a couple for comparison. Ignore the red beak,
that's just from eating grapes. Who hasn't had a red face after
eating red grapes, I know I have.

Thanks for your reply. From what I remember, it was about the size of the Tanager.
