What is this bird? The stripe of color didn't come out well in this picture, but it's red in the front and yellow toward the back. A larger colored area is visible during flight.


Do you want to play a board game, digitally or in Lakewood NJ? PM me. (Can be asynchronous, i.e. take turns whenever)

Yes, and even now only a flyover.

They're only common here around big shopping centers and parking lots etc.
