Your next installment of What’s This? came from Rondeau Provincial Park in Morpeth, Ontario, Canada, on May 17, 2005. Name what you’re seeing here and win $5 off any of my outings or workshops. Submit your answer in the comments section below. Thanks! Here’s a list of the first four What’s This? challenges. For the answer, read on. 

We have an instant winner: The talented Mark Council, whose photography is on display at www.QuietLightVermont.com, identified these as the breast feathers of a Rose-breasted Grosbeak. OK, this one was easy. Everyone got it right. Stay tuned for something tougher in the next edition of What’s This?
