Sorry it took so long have been busy with school and banding owls.

The bird that I saw looked like this: Head was a yellowish orange with
black streaks going to a dark back. Throat was yellow with black streaks
going down the sides and a little black speckled between throat and belly.
Belly was white. Wing was a dark color with a wing bar.
This bird was in mixed woods but mainly forging in a eastern hemlock. Stay
near the top of the tree. Move around a lot. Did not stand still for very
long.
I had good afternoon light. Viewed from about 30 feet away

I hope this helps. If you would like any thing else let me know. I was
mainly birding around the lake this day. I just stop at a spot to see what
I could pish in. The brant and snow were found on the lake by Deep Creek
Marina.

them?
