I think I was standing in the mud too long.
Went to Lucky Hammock, the sparrow field {and mudbank}across the street and the Annex this morning.
Dipped on the Lark sparrow, but saw painted buntings,prairie,common yellowthroat , redstart,red and white eyed vireos etc.
However this guy has me confused-I'd like it to be a brown crested flycatcher -never seen one-because it doesn't have as much rufous on the tail and seems to be lighter in color on the breast. The bill though, seems to say GCF.
I'm prepared to accept that it is just another run of the mill GCF if you all say it is. But there were plenty of those today to compare -lots of bright yellow and full rufous tails.
Opinions please. And field pointers always welcome.
