The Avairy-- aka Gone to the Birds

[Truly Scrumptious]

Is that the actual bird you saw? I mean, did you take the photo?
Because I'm pretty sure it's some sort of White-eye, either a Warbling White-eye or Indian White-eye . . . but they would only be found in Asia.

If it's a bird that looks similar to this one, it could be a Vireo (specifically a White-eyed Vireo or Yellow-throated Vireo, or some kind of Flycatcher depending on where you live. The Merlin Bird App is a good resource to check or you can also try: https://www.whatbird.com/

moe this bird looks kind of familiar in my bird book as a Varied Bunting. I am not sure but it is a bird with much color and small, same shape including the beak. I am not sure but looks close.

Thanks Stone! I often see birds out here in Green Acres that I can't find in our bird books and wonder about them....

It's a banded broadbill. They are a subtropical/tropical species found mostly in Southeast Asia. It is a beautiful bird and a very nice pic.
