Did you create a "Color" property on your "mysteryBird" variable?

I am not sure what the issue with my code is. If I am able to write the property "Color" of the variable mysteryBird, how have I failed to create it?

CodeChallenge.cs
var birds = new[] 
{ 
    new { Name = "Pelican", Color = "White" }, 
    new { Name = "Swan", Color = "White" }, 
    new { Name = "Crow", Color = "Black" } 
};

var mysteryBird = new[]
{
    new { Color = "White", Sightings = 3 },
};

Console.Write(mysteryBird[0].Color + mysteryBird[0].Sightings);

:point_right: You created an array containing one object.

It looks like you followed the example of the birds array that was provided to start with. But for task 1, the challenge just wants you to create an individual object:

var mysteryBird = new { Color = "White", Sightings = 3 };
