Observation details
Initially heard distinctive call from inside our house. Stepped outside and observed a dark crow-sized bird with distinctive white patches on undersides of wings. Bird was flying from a dead cottonwood tree to the north showing a red crest and black and white facial markings. About one minute later the bird returned flying closer yet at 25 yards. Calls were heard occasionally in the following two hours and verified with Merlin sound ID. Similar sightings have occurred here in the past, especially this time of year when juveniles are moving about.
