?bird

While in northern Michigan, last week, I didn’t see a lot of birds but the ones I managed to spot, I had trouble identifying. Definite white eye ring on this bird. Have looked at some references but still not sure who this is?

I think I finally got it! Check out the pictures of the juvenile eastern bluebird here: https://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/eastern-bluebird#photo5 Specifically photo # 5 in in the slide show near the bottom.

@stephomy You have made my day! Usually, if I have a good enough photo, I can eventually track down the ID. But this one baffled me. I think you have nailed it! Thanks.

@amyk Juveniles make things so tricky, but they are often spotted I've noticed.
