calling all wild bird feeders!!

LOL .. I have blown the picture up and scanned every little bit of it, I can’t see him either. This little dude could give Waldo a lesson or two in hiding!

do cardinals change their feathers so they can blend in like those quail/partridge things?!
like they molt their summer feathers for grey/white in winter?

I could see him when I snapped the picture, But I must confess I cannot see him in the picture. I saw him several times, He was kind of hiding behind a branch. It is a huge oak tree.

I took about 5 pictures of him, they all look the same.

HELP... New bird I have never seen before!

I just has a bird at my feeders. It landed on the suet.

. It looked like a female red breasted Grosbeak crossed with a Hermit finch. Any Ideas.

It did not look at home on the feeder. Longer spindly legs. Long beak 1 3/4 or so. skinny dagger/poking type.

I have searched online and found nothing. It keeps telling me it is a sandpiper or similar. It is not.

Spotted or mottled brown/ brownish white.

I tried to get a picture and it flew. I am going to say it was the size of a malnourished downey Woodpecker. Maybe a tad longer.


I have tried What a bird...Remember it is winter here snow covered and cold.

It is none of those, They are all common birds here,

I tried Brown/buff and white as a secondary. However there was little or no white.



I even tried "in trees or bushes" incase it was a rare event for it to be at a feeder.

I have not seen it again. It was smaller than a robin. The robin is a heavier bird in the breast than this one was.


I even tried uncommon birds and found nothing. There was a hermit Flicker ( I see my old post says flinch, I think it was flicker, old age memory) that is close in looks as I recall.


I keep hoping it comes back, With the warm weather we have had this fall it could just be or have been a late migrator.
