    What bird in N. MN. ?

    This is my first time on a birding site.  I love the great pics. and photos in this library.  I can"t find an example of this bird in any of the descriptions. 

      It looks like a Black Pheobe, except it has a yellow beak instead of black,, and phoebes aren't this far north..??

      Pics. taken in evening low light. They seem to come to the feeder in morning and evening. Almost always just eating the ground seeds that I throw when I fill my hanging cage feeder rather than pearching on the feeder with the pine ciskins which are smaller but really fiercely defend their feeder.   Their song is a delicate  " pew pew pew ".  They're about  4-5 inches including tail.  Thanks for your input ...  Terese Idea

    Your pics do not appear to come through. Having said that have you tried looking up "Slate coloured" Dark-eyed Junco?
