> Recently there has been a single bird at our feeder in Lower Sunset Hill that is larger than a finch or a sparrow that spends a lot of time at our feeder. It is roughly the size of an American Robin. It is a grayish buff all over with dark eyes and a bill a bit darker than the rest of the bird, but not black. It has wing bars that are bit darker than the rest of the bird and a darker brown under the tail. The wing bars are not a color in strong contrast to the rest of the bird. I think it may be a female cow bird, but am not sure and welcome any suggestions or ideas. I have photos, but they are not great and couldn?t load for this submission. I can email if that would help. Thank you for any help.
