Last night, after dark, I was outside and noticed a shadow of something on the roof of my car... Further investigation turned up this little fellow...
He was sound asleep, and we were able to approach within two feet and take flash photos without waking him.
He's a little bit of a challenge to figure out, as his head is not visible (tucked under) and his feathers were all fluffed for warmth. Overall, he was maybe slightly larger than a baseball in his sleeping configuration. The photos are good close-ups, tho.
No idea if he was an adult or youngster, and can't say anything about his song or behavior, other than sleeping out in the open like that.
We found it odd that he was sleeping so soundly right out in the open like that, but he was still there when we went to bed, and was gone this morning, leaving his "calling card" on the roof of the car.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what this is?
