Observation details
Found earlier today by Dominik Mosur, amazing find Dominik! As he described, it was actively foraging near the summit of Montara Mountain (approximate GPS location 37.562677, -122.484140 ). I was careful to keep a respectful distance and I moved very slowly around areas where the bird was active so as not to disturb it. I observed and photographed it foraging for about 25 minutes when I had to leave (on an unplanned extended lunch break!) It spent time on the utility wires overhead, and also perching on bushes, occasionally flying out or dropping down for food. I got some decent photos of this lovely bird. The originals of these pictures are fairly distant, but due to a decent zoom, and cropping after-the-fact it brings the bird in closer for these photos. What a lovely bird, and I appreciate Dominik getting the word out so quickly about his wonderful find!
