Hey all!
I was eating lunch when I saw something moving in the backyard.. So I grabbed my camera and this is what I saw. (See pictures below)
Anyone know anything about this bird? It is a very pretty bird and has a very good size to it.
When I came to the window it flew high up into a tree so these are the best shots I could get with my camera.

Pretty cool Rock. I've been living in the Chicago area for 20+ years and I don't think I've ever seen a bird that looks like that.
