Mystery Creature

While walking around a lake yesterday my husband & I saw this animal sitting in the grass. It was about the size of a small rabbit. I honestly didn't know what it was until its mother showed up. I will post a photo of them together tomm. Do you know what it is?

[Harbie]

Love it! I am not sure what it is! Can't wait to hear!

Adorable little creature. Size of a rabbit? I guess a bird of prey - largish. Not knowing of many US birds, that is as far as I can guess, but looking forward to your next post.

He's adorable - but no clue - I most definitely can't miss your post tomorrow.

Love the composition on this...difficult to tel. Interesting jaw line... not a duck bill, hmmm.
