Observation details
*MEGA *photos/notes in a bit, once I get figure out how to get a usable size from large RAW files :-/ HY bird by shape of p10; probably a male based on presence of a slight notch (not easily visible in photos posted here, except perhaps ML394168381). One rectrix (r1 on left side) replaced and fully grown, all others brown and abraded. Messy rufous-edged uppertail coverts, maybe molting? Noted patches of missing feathers on left side of neck (concealed most of the time but fairly large) and under left wing. Wings usually drooped when perched; sometime only the right wing, sometimes only the left, and sometimes both at once. Otherwise seems to be OK. Called loudly on two occasions when chased by NOMO.
