When I went outside this morning to get the paper I found this bird dead on the front lawn. Not sure what it is. Anybody know?

Juvenile woodcock maybe?

Oh dont say that. The tree huggers will have your lease shut down and everyone within 100 miles. Lol

Definitely a rail. Can't tell the size from the pic. there are rails that migrate and some that are year round residents. Virginia rails would be migrating right now. May have hit a power line.

Rail for sure looks like a clapper rail. Also called marsh hen.

Definitely a rail, either Clapper or King would be my guessm. Hard to tell the difference between the two. The flank would have barring in both, but it is more distinct in the King. The barring on the Clapper would be more blended. King has tawny wing coverts, Clapper has a more olive color to them.
Clappers also have a grayer face, vs a buffy face in the King.

Definitely a rail.
Season opens with duck season. I saw quite a few of them during teal season. Might have to pop a few on those slow days ahead.

Winged velociraptor, lucky he was deceased when you found him.

This is it. Virginia Rail. Shot one while woodcock hunting in my teenage years (70's). Not rare here but not that common either. They were legal to shoot back then.

The elusive snipe.

Thanks guys! I thought is was a type of "game bird". It had a bloody eye and beak and crows were going crazy early yesterday morning. Maybe they attacked it in flight. I know they dive at us humans about twice a year. Must be when they are laying or hatching crowlings? Lol.... What do you call a baby crow?

Going with rail.

Marsh hen.
Trust me, I know these things.

The king and clappers are mostly residents that don't migrate. The Virginia rail winter here and I would imagine they migrate at night like their cousins the coots
