Sibley shows a juvenile with brown between the black stripes. I don't know if that means it is a juvenile trait or just individual variation. I tend to just dismiss them - 'Another noisy killdeer' but perhaps I should study them more carefully.
"Glad you're getting some sun, finally." On the whole, we have relatively clear skies but in the winter the days are too short and in the summer the sun is not high enough. The locals like the winter because that's when they can do the ice fishing, curling, hockey, sled dog racing, hunting and trapping but it's not for me.
-------------- All sweeping statements are wrong.
