Need help with this challenge "Did you forget to use Take Method?"

Question

Create a variable named firstThreeBirds and assign it to a LINQ query that uses the Take operator to retrieve the first three birds in the birds list.

CodeChallenge.cs

var birds = new List<Bird>
{
    new Bird { Name = "Cardinal", Color = "Red", Sightings = 3 },
    new Bird { Name =  "Dove", Color = "White", Sightings = 2 },
    new Bird { Name =  "Robin", Color = "Red", Sightings = 5 },
    new Bird { Name =  "Canary", Color = "Yellow", Sightings = 0 },
    new Bird { Name =  "Blue Jay", Color = "Blue", Sightings = 1 },
    new Bird { Name =  "Crow", Color = "Black", Sightings = 11 },
    new Bird { Name =  "Pidgeon", Color = "White", Sightings = 10 }
};

var firstThreeBirds = new Take<TSources> this IEnumerable<TSource> source,
    int count);
{
    new Bird { Name = "Cardinal", Color = "Red", Sightings = 3 },
    new Bird { Name =  "Dove", Color = "White", Sightings = 2 },
    new Bird { Name =  "Robin", Color = "Red", Sightings = 5 }   
};

Hi there! I can see you've worked on this and even viewed the documentation for the Take method. However, you are overcomplicating things here. The first step of the challenge only requires one additional line of code.

var firstThreeBirds = birds.Take(3);

This will take the first 3 birds from the Bird List and assign it to the variable firstThreeBirds. Hope this helps!
