Wild teenagers identified by their strange attire COF writes from Knifley: Earlier this year we had Rose Breasted Grosbeaks at the feeders. Today I saw an apparition! This avian was approx 8 inches with a grosbeak type bill. The head was identical to a female being brown with prominent white streaks running over the eyes and down the neck but the body was almost that of a male grosbeak. The back was black with some white streaks and the underside was pure white with a triangular crest. However, the crest was orange, like a Robin's breast rather than the rose patch. Please tell me that this was a mutant or a species not in my "Birds of Kentucky Field Guide." The alternative is that Miz Emily is right again - I'm just a Crusty Ole Fool that gets confused entirely too easily. --Cof at Dun Roman, high on a ridge above beautiful downtown Knifely Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2007-09-25 16:11:01 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Knifley
