Stoney Meadow Maple
Crowing
this isn't bothering my ducks.. but I thought someone might know. this was found in a fireplace in souther Vermont, it is alive and has flown off seemingly unharmed. my friend has large hands...for perspective..those might be XXL gloves. the head looks like a Kestrel, but the bars look like a Sharp-Shinned.... we can't figure out what it was. he notes that the neck feathers were extremely fluffy.
TIA!
