    Default Help identifying a dead bird.

    The barn cats got this and I have no idea what it is. It?s not anything I?m used to. It has small feet similar to a small chicken. It?s about the size of a grouse.

    Common flicker maybe?

    ETA: Wing pattern looks similar.

    Its a Headless Thrush. Probably just stunned- leave it alone and it'll get up and fly away in a couple of hours.

    What if it does not identify as a bird at all? Folks here are quick to assume....

    Looks like a young hawk, or owl by the tail feathers, or what's left of them. Possibly a goshawk, or saw-whet owl? based on images on line.

    Hawk or owl talons should be a lot larger than the ones on that bird, I'd think.
