Thanks Brad, I thought about Cassin's, but the crown didn't look right. Anyway, thanks for the I.D. I'm happy to have this bird in the yard. Steve

Nice job. I was looking out the window and there were quite a few birds on the ground, this was one of them. I took a couple of shots for the I.D. Thanks Chuck. mjHession wrote in post #11081271 great shots. Thanks...nothing special just a quick couple of shots before it took off. Steve

Thanks don, I would like to get a shot on a perch instead of the ground. He's now discovered the feeder. He has his girlfriend with him. No time to get any shots at the moment. Work calls.. Steve
