Hubert,

That's what I was thinking, or maybe a kingfisher (?), they are quite common here.

Shera, glad you found it! I was looking but couldn't find it. On a side note I had a lovely crash course in birds of NSI hope the little guy will be OK.

I always brought home every hurt animal, lizard, worm...etc that I could. So birds were always mending at our home.

My mom would mix hot water with kitten chow and when it cooled she fed them that. They always ate it and healed. I guess it was just stuffing for the cats though because once when I turned one loose...a real old Yeller moment, my stinking cat got out and killed it right in midflight. I was sitting there humming something like Born Free, and whoops here comes my cat Peaches and kills the lil bugar.

Poor lil chick just died.

Happy Guy :)

I don't think it's a black throated gray warbler Blondie because there is no mention of the yellow in front of the eyes:

I does sound like some kind of warbler though however the red spot if not blood is puzlling as is the 3 wing bands it seems to have. It's almost as if it is a cross between two different species of warbler.

What kind of bird if this?
