[Accipiter91]

Of course its "pretty vague"! I wouldn't want you to guess the "secret bird" on your first guess...wheres the fun in that!? ;) Anyway...sorry guys but you are all wrong, even you SP, looks like you should have changed your guess! So, without further adue, here is your next clue...

[Accipiter91]

sorry guy's but you are both wrong!

birderbf: early successional habitat-land in an early stage of recovery from disturbance, usually dominated by a dense shrubby groundcover and some fast-growing, shade-intolerant tree species. Examples of early successional habitat can be found at the edges between fields and forests, in abandoned pasture or crop land, and in areas that were recently clear-cut.

[prairiemerlin]

Eastern Towhee.

[birderbf]

sorry guy's but you are both wrong!

[Accipiter91]

Sorry guys but you are both wrong! Here is your next clue. Keep guessing and good luck!

I don't know about the last, but the only bird that fits the oral description of the plumage even somewhat is Sora.

[Accipiter91]

Yes that is correct! Great job Larry Lade! I do not have anything against inches, as a matter of fact I would prefer to use inches!
