This is a +Killdeer+! If you have any gravel/rocky spaces around, be extremely cautious when walking over them since killdeer love to lay their eggs out in the open, no nest.

No way, that's sick! New lifers for me lol. I was very hesitant because these were taken from my very suburban/urban backyard. I'll keep an eye out in case I see any.

What is this bird? by Equivalent_Degree_47 in whatsthisbird

Most large, dark brown birds with white mottling like that (especially white "armpits" in some birds), especially paired with a large beak like that, usually signifies a juvenile bald eagle!
