Observation details
My wife saw it come flying in and landing in a dead tree. It was then observed soaring. A light morph buteo with a banded tail, that had one light band wider than others, dark edging to wings noted in flight, brown head, with dark moustacial mark visible in one photo of perched bird. Perhaps a female as it seemed larger than the Broad-wings I was familiar with in the Northeast. It headed northeast up canyon. Amazingly, a dark morph bird was reported from here on April 20 by Thomas Taylor. Photos.
