Can anyone identify this little bird

It does look like that but it’s beak is too long and pointy.

thats a shit hawk

Oh! Very close!!!!!!! I wonder if these come in olive green. It’s definitely olive green.

Awwww, sweet bird and awesome of ya'll to save the little guy!

back at you! :). That’s what we do here. It’s a sanctuary.

Yes, I think it was the shit winds that knocked it from its nest, Mr Lahey.

Oh what a disgusting dog the catahoula is!!! Why didn't you say: my pitbull viciously attacked a bird?!

That's what that filthy, 1 blue eye, creepy coat fat dog is: A PITTBULL!!!!

You guys are funny.

Here is a "Tropical Mockingbird"
which has green coloring to his feathers. But the beak may not match.

One of our staff is housing her pitbull here and they don’t really look anything like our Catahoula. We’re actually waiting on the DNA to see how much Catahoula she has. Her eyes are brown and she is slim and white with brown spots

Fee Fee! My adorable Fee Fee!
Where did you find him?

Dang that's a lot of birds. Take care of them well.

Starling

Used a screenshot app-summer tanager was the result

It makes a sound kinda like that when it’s hungry. Fee bee, Fee bee!
Sometimes it’s starting to look like it’s getting a top knot.

I thought so at first but it’s green with yellow under the tail.

See if there is a wildlife rescue center, maybe in a larger city like Little Rock. See if you can email the pictures to one of their veterinarians/scientists. Alternatively, the Arkansas Forestry Service would have wildlife experts who might help.

Yes, it’s very close. This fella is a lot darker and the beak is black, top and bottom.

Thank you! That’s a great idea!

Straight up, my first "guess" but I'm pretty sure.

Wow!
Good goin'!

Congratulations!

You did it!


Summer Tanager!

Never heard about THIS little guy.

Say's Phoebe

Say’s Phoebe is an early migrant often arriving in Washington in late March, before any other flycatcher. It is a bird of open, dry, western country and can be seen perched on wires, boulders and fences, or simply low vegetation. Aerlal hawking from a low perch is its preferred foraging method. In short, quick flight it sallies out for bees, wasps, flies and other insects in flight. If there are not enough flying insects in the area, it will forage on the ground for smaller insects.


Dark Above, Tawny Below


It is similar in shape and behavior to the other two phoebes in the genus Sayornis, the Black Phoebe (S. nigricans) and Eastern Phoebe (S. phoebe). However, it is a bit larger. Its head is dark grayish brown, particularly around the eyes and lores. Its throat and chest are gray, and the belly and undertail coverts have been described as ranging in color from pale rufous (Sibley), to apricot (Bell), to salmon (Dunne), to tawny-cinnamon (Alderfer). Perhaps the most distinguishing physical feature of this bird is its long black tail which flairs as it pumps (Dunne), and during its foraging flights.


The genus and species names Sayornis saya honor Thomas Say (1787-1834), the Father of American Entomology, and a versatile naturalist who found 11 new (to Europeans) species of birds on a Rocky Mountain expedition along the Platte and Arkansas Rivers in 1819-20. One of the new species was Say’s Phoebe named by his friend Charles Bonaparte (Mearns and Mearns).


Special Adaptations to Dry, Open Country


Say’s Phoebe has adapted to its favored habitat of dry, semi-open terrain in farmlands, prairies, and scrubland in its relationship to water. It does not drink water directly. Its insect diet provides sufficient water. Fluids are also preserved as indigestible parts of insects are formed into a pellet which is ejected from its mouth (Schukman and Wolf). The bird is seldom seen to defecate. Nesting in hotter climates is a challenge. Say’s Phoebe likes to have a “roof” over its nest and will construct a flat, open cup made of grass, weeds, moss and spider webs usually in a crevice or cavity, under eaves of older buildings, under bridges, and sometimes in a tree.


Usually four white eggs are deposited and the female incubates them for about two weeks. Both parents feed the nestlings a diet of insects, and first flight occurs in about another two weeks (Kaufman). Say’s Phoebes often have two broods per year and their population numbers are considered stable.


A Wide-ranging Bird


Say’s Phoebe has an extensive range in Western North America from Central Mexico to the Alaskan tundra at the foot of the Brooks Range. Northern nesters migrate south in fall and overlap with year-round resident birds in the Southwestern United States and Mexico. Say’s Phoebe calls are soft, low whistles usually alternating pidiweew, pidireep, pidiweew, pidireep…

Whelp...

I think I was premature on the congrats...

The more I look at the
Summer Tanager, the more
I stick with the Mockingbird species.

This little guy has the characteristics of the Mockingbird.


Perhaps play a Mockingbird recording
for your little guy to hear, and see if he changes his tune!

He’s absolutely not a mockingbird. I am very familiar with juvenile mockingbirds, having lived in Texas. He has no white feathers on him. No bars on his wings and he is green, not grey. His beak is not like a mockingbirds and he’s beginning to show a tuft on his head.

We have tried various calls. He reacts to them all. Lol

Lesser honeyguide.
Your welcome.

Cute! The eyes. Been seeing variations of them over the course of the last week.

I'm sure he responds to the sounds...

I am asking if he repeats/imitates the bird sounds that he hears.
