I had a polecat do that once, from the cutover.

I tossed a twig to his left, and when he turned to look, I hauled ass, sans gun, pack, everything.

That would be an Easter Phoebe. They are very tame little wild birds and like to hang out within feet of you, especially if you are digging and stirring up bugs, spiders and such. One landed on the hat of a city worker the other day while he was digging up my water meter box.

That picture should be in some kind of hunting promotional material passed out to non-hunters. If the birds approve, it must be OK!

I hunt a lot of cutover, often from the ground. I got a list of birds that have landed on me over the years.

Warblers are nice. Wrens, titmice, and chickadees are just plain obnoxious.
