Two birds darting about, similar in size to larks, with a speckled pattern on the breast and orange linear markings above the eye and on the face. Wings have white markings.
Seen on the Lake Erie shoreline at Presque Isle State Park.
I believe this bird may be a female red-winged blackbird! However, I’d be very excited if it were a thrush, especially the redwing, Turdus iliacus, as it is an accidental species (recorded 3 or fewer times in the past 10 years) as per the Pennsylvania Ornithological Records Committee... the latter seems unlikely, though. :)
