I had a friend who would quietly mock others from afar (hilarious if you’re the one next to her, not so much for the one being mocked), and one of her deals was saying, “girl, not a girl” if she saw someone who looked, let’s say, androgynous. Like Pat on SNL.
I took this photo of a grosbeak recently, and thought at first it was a female black-headed grosbeak.

Then my birdy friend said the equivalent of “girl, not a girl” and that it could be a juvenile male grosbeak, due to the color of her breast. (I still say “her”)

So, now I wonder, are there any cross-dressing, transvestite birds out there?
Or are we just really bad at being bird geeks?

Girl, not a girl?
