0639 Wetzel Unknown.jpg

Wetzel SRA - Macomb County Michigan

Looks kinda like a blackbird thing. Maybe a female Bobolink (the male was in the area) but I think not. Maybe a lifer Meadowlark? I have no idea. Please help! Lousy lighting and lousy shot, but maybe the "gestalt" triggers something?

Sorry, no observations to add. Too far and too strongly backlit for brief encounter. Possibly Clay-colored sparrow? Sounds like not worth a return visit just for this ...

Hmmm. Pinkish bill eliminates Song Sparrow as does the white eyebrow and white throat. Need better photos, or a written description of the parts of the bird that aren't visible in the photo that might have been observed :-)

Not a Meadowlark,maybe a sparrow of some kind.
