I think Red-shouldered is more likely, due to the white speckling on its wings and back and rufous barring on its breast.

Curlybird:''Nobody will recognize me in these sunglasses - what do you think, Charlie?'' Good one, Curlybird. I can see you're going to get a lot of mileage out of your Cedar Waxwings!!

greypaper:Maybe they just taste awful. Actually, they're pretty darn good when fried and served with bisquit and gravy!! I agree that they are usually docile birds and that they appear to be one of the stupidest birds around. However, I've seen a few bossy ones that will run other doves and even the Sparrows and Finches off the platform ...

Congratulations, Curlybird!!!!!! Way to go!!  Welcome to the CW Club! Nice shot!

Nice shot, pjustme!! You had to be quick to catch that, one as fast as those Hummers are!

 Good story, Curlybird. A happy ending, as I'm sure she got lots of attention.  Being raised by you I'm sure she was friendly with people and got fed a lot. Just curious... did she recognize you when you saw her at the park?

Curlybird: WANTED - For hiding out and playing possum whenever and wherever I look for him!!!     Huge reward offered for the location of this little bandit!!!  Good one, Curlybird!! Maybe this will get you some results!!! 

That is a stunning photo, raptrlvr!! Don't know how you do it, but I sure enjoy your photos. Keep 'em coming!!!

A really beautiful bird!!

Curlybird: I'm in So CA, and I have the opposite - tons of birds at my feeder and everywhere else!  This is my first fall/winter into birding (I started in Feb), so I love seeing all the new birds!  There's just one in particular that I really want to see...................I won't mention the species as I've already bored everyone ...
