Observation details
Adult. I think it was the male based on its smallish size and gray (as opposed to rufous) cheeks. Had some sort of avian prey with which it flew SE, over the Carpinteria Water District facility. I haven't seen any recent activity at last year's nest; this bird was a few hundred feet away from that and flew in the other direction with the prey. Maybe they're nesting further to the SE this year, in the trees near Santa Ynez Avenue?
