Never heard of this bird? Well, neither had I until this past weekend. 😉

Driving along I spotted two good-sized birds out in the field so stopped to take a look. I had absolutely no idea what they were, simply that I hadn’t seen them before.

I later learned that they are a bit unusual to spot, especially in the snow. They do spend time on Colorado’s eastern plans during the summer for mating season so I am guessing that is why they are here.
