The funny thing was the owner of this vehicle was complaining about the mess the owls were making on his car. He asked us for any suggestions on what he could do to prevent this from happening. I told him he could move the car (it was in a huge pole barn), or just throw a sheet or tarp over the car. He replied with, "Well, I just wish they wouldn't make such a mess..." Seriously dude, that's like the easiest solution to your problem and you'd rather sit there and complain about having a RARE owl in your barn instead of grabbing a sheet? *facepalm*
Thanks for the ID! I didn't know we had spitting spiders in Indiana. Gross lol!
Wow I didn't realize there was such variety in this species. Thanks!
Ah well I didn't look at those species because I didn't think they'd be in the area still. I do remember this bird had black under its wings when it flew, so I'm going with the black-bellied plover. Thanks for the help!
Yes, you're right, the pictures don't really show the markings. I do remember what it looked like though, and using these pictures you posted, I think I've come up with a species. Thank you!
Ah thank you. I had looked at other pictures of that same species and they looked different.
