This is from a Facebook group called South Dakota Birding. Usually I pause longest at the owls & eagles, but this might be the most beautiful bird I have ever seen.It looks like a little kid dressed up in mom's evening wear. Or an angel in lace. Because of this group, I have reupped my membership to the Cornell Bird Lab & am thinking of taking a class, maybe on crows.
