I believe that is the bird that did not survive hitting a window at my house. The bird is not very large. This lovely gray and yellow bird has the yellow tips on its tail feathers and the bandit mask I see on the Cornell websiteDiane Gerenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1568355192015326754.post-71078080425108063932011-07-28T15:15:15.917-05:002011-07-28T15:15:15.917-05:00Fascinating information!

They stripped that tree in a matter of about 30 minutes! I tried to take photos, but they were so skittish that even when I went to the window to try to photograph, the whole flock would fly away. I KNOW I couldn't have gone outside to take the picture.
