Observation details
A pair of AMKE were hunting on the south side of the sod farm. They perched on the irrigation equipment, then would fly up to ~150' away to apparently capture insects in their talons, then return to their original perch. They stayed within several hundred feet of each other at all times - when one would change base locations, the other would follow. Observed them at >2,200' distance for over 10 minutes. Distance, heat waves, and high humidity made photos difficult.
