Monday Mornin' Photo Quiz
This morning's photo quiz is brought to you by Veronica B. in Sherman Oaks, California. She had a long Labour Day weekend hanging out with raptors (Ojai Raptor Center) and domestic parrots with fellow bird lovers:"This little guy was brought to us on Monday and until we got it to rehab, we didn't have a clue what it was. Oh boy do I need that bird i.d. book! Anyway, I don't know if it's useful for your contest or not."
Veronica B., it sure is! Plus, this helps keep the contest from being to eastern region centric.
In honor of the fall temperatures in Minnesota, the prize is a size large unisex sage green Vortex pullover fleece. As an added bonus, if the winner would like, I can wrap Cinnamon in the fleece before I send it, so you can have some genuine disapproving rabbit fur on your shirt.First correct answer in the comments section wins the fleece (Large is the only size I have).

is it a rare Western Snowy Plover? If so, that's cool! I know it's some kind of plover.
looks like a red-necked phalarope
to me
Hap
I agree on the red-necked phalaropem, for what that is worth.
Is it a Snipe? Or maybe a sandpiper?
It's a _juvenile_ Red-necked Phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus)!
From Carole, who is owned by 6 rabbits.....
would it be a Snowy Plover
pointy beaked fluff-bomb
looks like brandxhuarches, size 10
Oh, but you would then unwrap Cinnamon before mailing.
When you don't know the answer, go for humor... A black-eyed Susan.
Oh, no - a shorebird. :(
After some consultation with my Peterson's (western edition) a red-necked phalarope in winter plumage is my guess.
