    Default Bird identification please

    Saw these on the road down to the water at the Yuba near 20 bridge. Cute little guys, I just can't remember what their names are.



    So long and thanks for all the fish!!!

    Thanks everyone. Now I can call them by there name, I really didn't care to yell at them "Hey you, bird, get out of the road."

    I was looking at the cape and I saw alot of feathers I could have used. So does it taste like chicken or turkey?

    I saw them down there a couple weeks ago too, they were in the middle of the road and I could not help but think about what good flying material they would have made...But I let them cross the road safely. Guinea is one of my favorite materials for Steelhead flies, I love it.

    Talking Unknown prehistoric bird
