This bird isn't just another pretty face. It's song is world famous. (I do have to admit though, I've never seen one that could dance a lick.)
I hope it brightens someone's day anyway. :)
Distinguishing Marks: Bright Yellow front with black V. You can't miss them--unless they want you to....

Boring fact: You'd think with that bright yellow sign saying, "Eat me" they would be a quick snack for a fox or prairie falcon (and sometimes they are). But they're not dumb. When danger approaches (say me as an example) they crouch near the ground hiding the yellow. They stay motionless letting the camouflage do its job until I get just close enough that when they burst into the air in a flutter, it scares the bird song out of me. They're good in the air but don't usually go far before gliding out of reach.
