answer:You need to give more identifying clues. Size of the bird, other identifying marks, colors, etc. Did you notice it fly? Any color under the wings…tail shape, long, short? Was it small like a Warbler, or larger like a Kingbird, other Flycatcher? Did you see it’s beak, cone shaped seed eater, slender insect eater? I am not familiar with all the species in the midwest. More clues are needed Sherlock. :-)
