early migrant, not quite in full plumage yet, not sure if its too early or if its immature.

Fort De Soto
Near ranger house
War Veterans Memorial Park
@ War Veterans Memorial park, a pair up in a tree. All brown with bluish bars on the wings. Looks very similar to a blue grosbeak, but I guess the beak is wrong
Fort De Soto
@ Fort De Soto, a huge flock of around 30 or 50 scattered around the ranger house. They were very timid and all moved as with eachother. All birds were in their brown fall plumage, with small amounts of blue.
Possum Branch
@ Possum Branch, in some cattails by the water. Was mostly brown with splotches of bright blue on its wings and head. Very pretty bird, I hope I can see one in breeding plumage someday.
