Observation details
Glanced out window into my yard and saw a small bird flitting about with a flash of yellow. It was near dusk, so couldn’t see for sure, but behavior wasn’t like normal winter yard birds. It was snowing steadily and Bird was hunting in the grass under a spruce tree on Nov 17. Next afternoon, same bird shows up in same spot and in the better light I could see the yellow was very orangish, not like a goldfinch at all. It appeared to have a mask. I got camera and shot some mediocre pictures through two panes of glass. Looked it up and thought it was a Wison’s because of the black on head. Texted naturalist at Audubon Center and also sent the image to RTPI in Jamestown. I still thought it was Wilson’s but when I posted to Western New York Birders they said female hooded. Unknown if bird moved on, I wasn’t home to see if it was still here today.
