Hi all,
Sorry to start out this way, but I REALLY want to know what this bird is. It was a building strike victim, got rained on... so it's not in great shape. I'm usually pretty good at getting an ID, but this has me stumped. Sure that it was in migration, so it may not be a local to the mid Michigan area. Looks like some type of shore bird, but I come up with zip from all of my resources. This bird was about as big as my foot. Any ideas?
