Observation details
**rare. First spotted by Ariel Gaffney, while everyone else in the car was watching a Northern Harrier. Seen hunting (hovering and stooping) over a field north of the auto tour loop and west of the Farm Deck, about 200-300 m. Distant scope and binocular views in flight and perched. Perched bird was observed devouring a rather large rodent (rat?) that it caught in the field. Juvenile plumage with many white-edged, gray covert feathers.
