This bird is a female, as the male has a distinct reddish neck ring. These are a noisy species of bird. In the morning as I am walking into work, I see these guys flying off in flocks to do their daily duties, loudly squawking as they go. And in the evening as I am leaving work, I see them flying back in to their nesting grounds, again, loudly squawking, announcing their arrival. It always brings a smile to my face to see them :)
