Birds

A few days ago, we found a bird I'd never seen before. My guess was that it was a sandpiper. I looked it up -- it was an American woodcock, a type of sandpiper. Go me!

Today I heard a junco hit the kitchen window. As I looked out to see if it was on the ground, another bird I'd never seen before grabbed it and flew to the back porch railing with it. I correctly identified it as a kestrel. Very cool!
