This little bird ran into my inlaws window Friday. My MIL came over and let me know so I could come take some pictures. I have started to only mark down birds I have sighted in my bird book if I have actuall taken a picture of them and positively identified them, since I am so bad at identifying birds ith my own eyes....LOL...anyway, this little guy let me hold him and pose him in differnt places until it got its wits about him and he flew off...
this is a shot of him on my arm, you can see the red reflection of my shirt on his belly...
Apperently, you shouldnt count on the orange crown showing on these according to the bird book, is it cuz they only use it to attract a mate? You can see a hint of the orange on its head....
