Wet Birds



All these neat birds just showed up at my birdbath at the same time. Wet birds are so funny lookin'!

In order of appearance:

Summer Tanager
Eastern Bluebird
Pine Warbler
Rufous Sided Towhee
Tufted Titmouse

How many of these birds are male?
How many are female?
How many are ambiguous?

First answer in the comments wins at the internet.

  1. Males: Summer Tanager, Eastern Bluebird (one of the early shots looks quite male, at least, though later ones are female), Rufous Sided Towhee (grass shot)

    Females: Eastern Bluebird (the later shots, at least), Rufous Sided Towhee (bath shots)

    Ambiguous: Pine Warbler (I can't tell them apart, at least), Tufted Titmouse

  2. John wins at the internet! I've been looking for the female Summer Tanager but I haven't seen her around here. If this drought keeps going my birdbathtub is going to be more and more popular.
