Title: What is this bird?
Post by: Kat Kid on June 09, 2020, 07:33:59 PM

Spotted near de soto, ks.

Tried looking for awhile. Looked for awhile and couldn’t find something with that white patch on the top of the wing.

Nope. Speckled Oyster Thrush. So named because they're the only migratory birds known to eat freshwater oysters in N. America (or at least that was assumed).
