Observation details
Photographed yesterday by Chuck Hantis, continuing in the area today. Dove toward the pond from high up above the gym parking lot and flew a few circuits around the marshy edges. Perched on a low snag for a few minutes before eventually gaining altitude, making a couple high passes over the lot, and then drifting off to the north. Overall dark brown raptor, pale buffy head with dark line through eye, buffy shoulder region, pale mottling on back, a little bit of pale mottling on underwing; messy looking tail and flight feathers, appears to be new p6 visible growing in on the bird's right wing. Appeared heavier and more broad-winged than a Northern Harrier, pretty uniquely shaped compared to the expected raptors. Photos.
