Perching Birds (Order Passeriformes)Observer
jmneveDescription
There were two or three dead baby birds on the sidewalk (likely killed by an animal), but I can't figure out the species. In thinking it may be a Baltimore Oriole, but I haven't seen any around at all this year.
I noticed:
• There is what I think is a piece of eggshell on its bottom which is white, not blue.
• The beak is gray and pointed, so it isn't a blackbird.
• It's slightly yellow on its belly, but this may be from the sun or sidewalk.
• I didn't measure, but it seems to be about 2 to 4 inches long.
Thoughts please?
