Observation details
Species was observed hanging out ontop of a tree approx 500 ft to the south of the Panorama Vista Parking lot. When first observed, my wife called it out as a red tailed hawk, but then said "wait something is off". Attached is a picture I managed to get before it flew off to the south, away from the Kern River. Identified with the help of naturalists at iNaturalist (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/67783445), who point out the unique coloration on on the all-dark wrists, and striped patagium.
