Thanks! I have no idea what this little guy was! I'm still not sure. It doesn't look 100% like a Say's Pheobe, but I'm at a loss and the girls below were pretty helpful!

That's a new one for me!! Is that a juvenile? Beautiful shot, Emily!

Thanks Anne Marie! I was 99% sure it wasn't a meadowlark! I looked at the Say's Phoebe and it definitely could be! I'll change the ID until someone else corrects us! :) Thanks again for your help ladies!

Good call on the ID. I would agree it's a Say's Phoebe.

Lovely shot. This is not a meadowlark. Say's Phoebe, perhaps?
