The Breadhat Bird - New species

[Alvito]

All kidding aside, this bird crashed into my window and the cat was smacking it around.

I got there in time and told the cat to go away. I took some nice pictures of the bird.

This was 5 minutes after the impact, its eyes opened and it got on its feet.



This was right after the impact and the cat tossing it around. Eyes closed, and haunched over laying almost flat on the ground.


We all know this predator. She got a beating for smackin around the bird.

Brownie points to the person who can name the species.

You hit your cat for following it's natural instinct?

You sir should be hit with this:

The real question is why he put a pebble on the birds head...

Do you not read? It was bread, hence the breadhat. He didnt want to eat it, I thought he might enjoy a hat instead.

I didnt beat my cat. I was joking. I picked her up off the bird and shoved her her on the lawn.

Yea reading is an issue when there are pics - my mistake, and for birds their foreheads are blind spots since there eyes are on the side unlike humans with eyes on their fronts. Second guy got it right with pics with words in them

a humans forehead is also a blind spot. Draw a big L on your forehead, you'll never see it lol.

But I know what you mean.

I dont think stunned birds get hungry, I think they rather just re-cooperate so they can fly away.

I have a video coming.

I think it was very kind of you to save this poor little bird. I hope good fortune comes your way for doing this small thing for another living creature.

Every time you were petting it, you kept crushing it...

The bird is a Savannah Sparrow. The yellow lores are a good field mark. They are not the most common sparrow in these parts so I'm happy this one lived another day.

I think I found a dead one while I was mowing the lawn last week....

no, keep guessing

You might be right, I thought the bird was a white throated sparrow, after googling your name, it turns out that the Savannah Sparrow has a white throat. So maybe you are right.

It's definitely not a White-Throated Sparrow. It lacks the distinct white and black stripes on the head, and there is too much streaking on the breast. Although I don't have my Sibley's in front of me right now, I probably spend more time on birding forums then RFD.

Wow, you have to have a really good eye for bird watching. At first glance the Savannah Sparrow and the white throated look the same to me. But after a closer look they are completely different.

The only thing I was looking for was the yellow part over the eye.
