Observation details
VERY RARE*** Adam Timpf found this to the NE of the marsh, hunting. Bird appeared to be near adult, possibly in its 2nd year. Amazing watching in the scope; the bird was constantly foraging and predominantly in the air, seldom flapping (though when it did showed close similaities to NOHAs in flight). We watched it grab insects out of the air with its talons and transfer them to its beak and consume them - all in flight. Many photos were taken while the bird was perched along the concession north of Hillman.
