Observation details
Second day of this bird. Very active eating on dragon flies over the small pond. Very efficient and catches them within five seconds once it launches from a perch. Most forays only last 5 to 15 seconds. Was being harassed by barn swallow a few times wiggle perched. Life bird for me. Appears to be an immature bird due to uneven plumage on the mantle, upperwing coverts, and primaries.
