i was sitting out on the picninc table watching the birds while my son painted his rock and i saw a new bird on my seed feeder. i can't find him in my book! it was about the size of a downy. all gray, dark legs, dark bill. a rather fat sort of bill too. not a skinny one like nuthatch- a fat one- the closest shape i can find in my book is a grosbeak. so bill was that shape and dark. his body was all gray no markings except for a light light gray spot under his bill sort of like where a beard would be. nothing on his chest. my first thought was a catbird because they are all gray- but he had no black crown. any ideas???? i have a "birds of Pennsylvania field guide" so maybe he's just not in here????

AND I saw a new "Lifebord" too! A song sparrow! i can check him off now! LOL he sat forever picking thistle off the ground under the feeder!

YUP! that's what she was! THANK YOU! here's the pic i found on the net....
