Greetings Tweeters,

After a long and fruitless search, I thought I would simply ask. We had a pair of birds at the feeders this morning and yesterday. They are a bit bigger than our Brewer's Blackbirds. They are both light brown (almost a cinnamon) in body color with a banana yellow chest and face. They have a small black bandit mask wrapping around their eyes like a pair of Oakley shades. They are feeding on the ground with the Finches, Chickadees and Towhees. I cannot find them in the guides. They also made a loud, throaty screechy sound from up in the trees earlier. Can make no sense of it.....any body? I'm sure there are ten of you who have seen these a million times, but they are a new one to LaNae and I.

let me know if you know
many thanks
