Thanks for clearing that up for me Cass, the "bird" wasn't outside today, but I'm sure it will be back. I thought it was a mantis, but I thought they were green

We'll find out.....

Maybe it is a locust, but I know that after female prangies lay their eggs they turn brown in color, and most of the males are a lot paler than the females, at least that is my experience having kept them as pets. This is the time that the mantids start dying, then in a few months after winter all the new mantids will hatch.
