Find and identify the lurker (and I don't mean the Downy Woodpecker).

Wow I think I see a bird in the background but I don't have a solid guess. I guess a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. I would like to see others guess, and could we get one hint?

[spyonabird]

I think I see an eye.   Let me throw out a total guess.... Northern Flicker ?

 

[JimBob]

I think I see something big in the top right corner. It looks kinda like a turkey or some gamebird.

[Jenny81]

It's not a Flicker or a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and it is much smaller than a game bird, but I'll give a hint, it's on the left side of the picture.The only reason I saw it was because I saw it fly away and heard it call while I was in the field, even then it took me a little to find it in the picture.

Female Eastern Towhee?

[JimBob]

I think I see it in the picture. What I see is right to the left of the tree in the middle. There is a little bird like thing perched. Than in the left corner I see what looks like an owl to me it looks like a Great-horned Owl, but I son't know about the size.

[JimBob]

I really think it is the owl.

JimBob:

I really think it is the owl.

Think you're right, maybe Eastern Screech?

[JimBob]

Ya I thought it was an owl but no one was going to agree. I think though that it is a great-horned. Though we both must be told the answer soon.

[Jenny81]

The "little birdlike thing" perched opposite the Woodpecker on the stump is the lurker, and there is not an owl in this photo (though I would be very happy if there was). This picture is a stump and was aimed slightly downward from standing position. It is not an eastern Towhee, but I will say this, it is small and loud.

[JimBob]

I see the bird. It is the first thing I saw and to me it looked like a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. What looks like a kinglet and is very loud. And the one hint I want is were was this taking?

[spyonabird]

small and loud.... sound like a Carolina Wren !?

[Jenny81]

Spyonabird is right! It is a Carolina Wren, and it was taken in Franklin county Pa.

[JimBob]

I was wondering if you could say where in the pic is it/

[Jenny81]

Here is a picture with the Wren circled.

Okay that is where I thought it was. I just could not think of what it was.
