Guess the Bird

Clara imposed a game of guess-the-bird-I-saw on me as we were driving.Clara in chicken coop

Clara: “I saw a bird, guess what kind!”

Me: “A crow?”

Clara “No.”

Me: “A red-winged blackbird?”

Clara “No.”

Me: “A red tailed hawk?”

Clara: “Yeah!- No. Do you need a hint?”

Me: “Yes, please.”

Clara: “It had a beak.”

Me: “So… it was definitely a bird then?”

Clara: “And it was red!”

Me: “A cardinal?”

Clara: “YEAH!!!!”

Me: “Wow, that must have been pretty!”

Clara: “I don’t know, it was too far away I couldn’t see it.”

Me: “Oh.”

    I had a similar conversation this morning. Except after exhausting all of the birds that I thought she could have seen, I asked for a clue. “It was blue and started with a “D”. Not a duck or dodo. Nope, this was a penguin in a tree. I was a little surprised at the presence of arboreal penguins in Wisconsin in March, but what do I know.
