Hi all,


  Sometimes around 215pm, while I was shoveling the driveway, I was watching to make sure the grackle/blackbird flock kept move south away from my feeders after attack one of the junco yesterday. After the flock move south, I noticed a large yellow bird coming in from the south, with black wing, white patch, buffy, not as yellow underparts and landed near top of bare oak tree. It allows me to observe it there for 1 min and 11 sec before flew off to the north. Never stop for foods as I still have more grackle at feeders. The description fit for a female with grayish-brown above, short tail, heavy bill.   They normally fly in flock in the winter.
