Observation details
Initially seen to the north over the landfill hovering, with pale tail base and dark tail tip visible. Long tail for a buteo. Light-morph female with black belly, moth-like hovering action and wings held in an M shape. Then it flew south over the marsh. I had good views and struggled for photos through the phrags with my small camera, as I stood atop what might've been someone's compost heap.
