It was about 12 inches in length and about an inch in diameter at it's largest. It has wings that were the length of it's body. I found it on a metal barrel that we keep the chicken feed in.

This is a female and too heavy to fly, even though it is winged. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8214575 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8199078
