I live in lincoln,Nebraska and work at the local airport as a mechanic .I generally see quite a few bird many of which fly in and out of the hanger regularly.The hanger is quite large 50,000+ sq ft.
lately theres been a large bird (as compared to the other bird we usually get).This bird has a hawklike head and sounds like a a bird of prey also. Its aprx 10-14" in length its wings have very distinct markings both wings have a white stripe bordered by 2 smaller black stripes which are in the center of each wings lower surface and run parallel to the body of the bird.it has a dark grey base colr to the rest of the body. The bird chases bugs in the air and does glide but mostly flaps (mind you this bird is inside of an enclosed hanger.).also since this bird arrived a few days ago no other bird go in the hanger.
Thanks for any assistance in helping me figure out this bird.Sorry i dont have a picture in sure it would have been easier to figure out.
