Good day all.
I'm hoping someone can help me identify a large bird i saw this morning. I went on Merlin and didn't find what I was looking for. Then entered the description in Google with no positive results. Now I turn to you.
What I saw was a large, seemingly ground bird as i didnt see it fly, it was walking around my neighbors lawn out in the county. The body was mixes browns. I believe the identifier would be the black neck and head with large oval red patches around the eyes. It didn't make any sound. Just wandered off into the bushes.
If anyone is able to help, I would appreciate it greatly. I'm sure it's a common bird, but I just can't seem to place it.
Thank you in advance!!
