[prairiemerlin]

Blue-winged Warbler ?

 

[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.

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

That means the rest of you are going to have to step up your game if you want to break prairiemerlin's winning streak! This next "secret bird" will not be guessed so easily...I hope...

(1) This "secret bird" has an unstreaked gray chest
