This bird was on my dads sidewalk next to his front porch. It stayed there for three hours. He called me up to help him ID it and with the books we have it looks like a juvenile Sora. We've never seen one before. He went outside and petted it. I picked it up and took it over the flood levee where there is standing water hoping it might hear it's parents. It was kind of weird. It would not move more than 6 in from the spot it was in.
