After I walked along the trail near Butler Lake, I returned to my mom's car. I then found 3 birds on a tree. One of the three birds was a complete mystery to me. I'm a master at identifying raptors, but this one really REALLY stumped me. The problem is that I was looking at its back. This raptor wasn't moving, so I assume that it is dead. Either that, or it could be a decoy bird that hunters use. The area in which I was filming was a hunting area, so that would make sense. However, I'm pretty much open that its a dead Cooper's Hawk which could have gotten struck by lightning. That tree had no leaves on it, so I know for a fact that tree had gotten struck by lightning in the past. There was also an Osprey on the tree as well. It was near the bottom of the tree, which I had filmed until it flew off. Also, another bird that in the middle of the tree was a Anhinga snakebird, thanks to "whoever" for mentioning it to me.
