				Bird Id?
			 
			 
			
		
		
		Hi, 
 
Anyone know what type of bird this is?  It landed in my yard a little while ago.  I took a few pictures thru a window and then finally went up to the 2nd floor balcony. 
 
Thanks 
Paul

		 Thanks - I just pulled out my peterson's field guide to try figuring it out.  Wonder why he is visiting Conn? 
 
With all the rain, he must have thought my yard was a swamp.

		 Likely very rare this far north but range maps do show it spends time here.   In Spring everything is reestablishing its territory or searching for new.
