I live in the North Georgia Mountains (Blairsville) and I have had a bird for the last two years in late spring that I cannot identify. It is a small finch like bird with pointed beak. It is brownish/gray with two white bands on wing area. It has a greenish patch in the throat area and another on the back of its neck at the base of its head. I have looked everywhere, and cannot find a picture of it. Can anyone help. please email jens06z@gmail.com if you might have an idea what kind of bird this is. Thanks in advance.

I have a small bird, similar to a nuthatch, yet has a striped back. They have come to my back yard two times now and in a group of 20 or so. It climbs up and down a tree just like a nuthatch. But the back or wings are striped and the nuthatch's I have seen do not have that. Does anyone know what kind of bird these are?

There is a bird that lives in the South called a whip-poor-will, which has a loud and distinctive call that it makes at dusk and at night. Maybe that is what they are talking about. http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/Whip-poor-will.html

These are very beautiful pictures, wonderful to look at. I have a question that I wonder if anyone can answer... I listen to country music and the singers many times have refered the song or the call of a wifferwheel or something like... Is there a bird in the South with a name that sounds like that? Inquiring minds wana know. Thanks
