Observation details
Exploded from the ditch next to where I was walking, as if a dabbling duck taking to flight. Too much brush in the way to see until I caught the white flash and it was headed almost directly away. Body shape in second image doesn't make sense for a duck, and looks more like that of a pigeon, or an aberrant raptor? It sped off quickly, and left me standing there, dumbfounded.
