Ataman said:A yellow bird began visiting our feeders last November and has stayed to the present. The bird is about the size of a house sparrow. I cannot find this bird in any book.
Thanks,
Jake

streatham said:if you look at a scarlet tanager g thang you'll note that it is darker overall than the picture of this bird even from the small pics not olive-green enough on back of neck and face - i'm going with dacol on it being a non-native.

gthang said:painted buntings winter in your area, so that could be a place to start. and with the except of the adult male, all plumages are a yellowish green. with slightly darker wings.
