bird sighting


She is sitting on her eggs. What kind of bird is that? I know what she is not. She is not a robin, a cardinal, a sparrow, a raven, a blue jay, or a red winged blackbird.

  1. Wow Sunny, what a great find! I've been searching my bird books and can't seem to find this bird. I'll let you know if I do. :)

  3. Found it.....it's a killdeer. I should have known this because they used to run down our street when there was mostly fields. They have long legs and run a lot. Here's a link for you to learn more.
