I took this picture at the Toledo Zoo, in Ohio. I know what kind of bird it isn't, but no idea what it is. Anyone know?

It's a great shot Jim but I don't know what it is. It looks to be some kind of Finch but that's as far as I can go.

Lovely capture of this Finch, but not sure which one it is though. Love its colouring and can see why you were drawn to it. Well done!

I'm quite suprised you don't know what type of bird this is. It is oviously "a darn cute one, that is very well represented here".

Great colors and excellent focus...well done my friend.

Wonderful shot, Jimbob, with great color, clarity and dof. I don't have a clue about the bird though, other than he's mighty pretty.

It looks like a bluebird who mama got friendly with a sparrow. If it is in the zoo and behind bars, then obviously it is a jail bird. That was too easy. Great post JimboB. If he tells you what is would that make him a stool pigeon. I'd better quit.

What a beauty JimBob, I like the way it has its head cocked as if it's waiting for you to press the shutter. I don't know what it is, but it certainly looks like it enjoyed posing for you. It has gorgeous colours in the plumage too.

A Finch.
NO WAY !!!

That's The Elusive, Rarely Seen and Seldomly Heard Mile-A-More Bird Jim.

What's that you say ?

What's a Mile-A-More Bird ?

That's a Bird that sticks it's Head In The Sand, Whistles Through It's Butt, and You Can Hear Him For A Mile-A-More.
Now, do I know Birds Or What ? LOL.

Excellent Capture of One of the Most Colorful Birds I've Ever seen this side of a Parrot.
Thanks for sharing Jim.

It's a red-billed blue-headed brown bird. (Nah, I'm just whistlin' through my butt.) It' a colorful little guy, and you have a great shot here, man. Awesome color and great detail.

Sorry for the late comment Jimbob
Such a well focused, & composed bird shot m8t

I don't think it's a Mile-A-More bird though. :o) it's not a Vulture nor is it a Hummingbird .. I hope this has been of some help to you. Lol

Hey Jim, I've tried looking that type of bird up, but I don't have my birdbook with me in Alberta. This sure really cute bird with such beautiful colours. The clarity and close up work is FABULOUS, job extremely well done.

Ok, I HAD to find out. I think it is a female Blue-faced Parrot Finch. check out this link http://www.finchworld.com/Birds/Finch/parrot_finch/blue_faced/index.htm She is a beauty and so is the male!
