Field Notes

Description:

Pretty sure this is a baby and can't fly yet. He was alone and seemed to be calling to his mama. He still had fluff in his feathers and stood over a foot tall. Taller when he stretched his neck straight up. Very cool. His call was amazing. I took a video too.

Habitat:

In a field, near a stream, behind my friends house
