Detalhes da observação
On this day I was hoping to find a Tufted Titmouse, a Cedar Waxwing, and a Spotted Towhee. I had found them a week or two before in this park, but I wanted better photos. I arrived at this thicket where I had seen the Towhee, saw movement back in there, a flash of orange and started clicking my shutter button. Slowly I began to realize that what I was seeing was NOT the Towhee. It's very hard to get photos in the thicket because those small birds dart around so quickly amongst the twigs and stalks. But I kept getting photos of everything I could. This bird was maybe smaller than a red-winged blackbird or cardinal, maybe about the size of a Harris sparrow. It was cinnamon on the head, back and sides, with pink further back on the sides. The wings and tail look black, there was a white/gray patch on the head with white eyebrows and an orange beak. I have a number of photos I will be uploading. I asked for help with ID on the Kansas Birding Facebook page. I was told this is what the bird is and that I'm the first person to get a photo of it in Kansas!
