Observation details
Was driving along Hwy 82 and spotted over fields at South entrance to Las Cienegas NCA. Distant flight shots and then saw bird headed towards Hwy 82 as rain strengthened. Drove west maybe 1/4 of a mile and there it was perched along roadside. I stopped vehicle ( marginally safe ) and grabbed some close photos. Will add on return to San Diego. Beautiful buteo with pale, streaked head, dark eyeline. Distinct wing patch in flight. Streaked breast and throat, dark belly, feathered legs.
