[mou-net] Need help IDing a bird
Yesterday in western Wisconsin, I saw a bird in a field as we were driving. The bird was in flight below us, so we could't see the breast, sides or even the head all that well. It was the size of a blackbird and appeared to have a black head, back and tail. The tail was fanned out in flight and not particularly long. What was unusual were the wings. The lower third - tip to about 1/3 of the way to the body - were bright white. There was no white on the shoulder and no wing bars. Any ideas? We are stumped.
