We have a bird that visits our bird feeder in Indiana.  The bird does not have a mate, and it doesn't eat out of the feeder.  The bird has a black head,orange beak, nothing around the eyes,grey slender body,black tips on end of wings, light orange breast.  Under his throat it looks like white and brown stripe.  What in the heck is it.  Thanks for helping us.    Pegz

Some type of oriole?

You've stumped me for now. Do you have any pictures? Otherwise, try out the WhatBird Expert.

 

Yours in birding,

Sounds like an American Robin.  I don't think too many Orioles feed on the ground..... but I have been knwo to be quite wrong before.
