Observation details

DAY 34 continuing adult first seen at 9:55 soaring around at maybe 400-500 feet up and about 500 yards beyond the snag tree, and briefly near an adult Bald Eagle. Moved northwest and out of sight behind the trees. Then later at 10:55 a nice close low and slow circling flyby, maybe 100 feet up and only about 150 yards out, almost came in to the snag tree but deigned not to perch and moved slowly south crossing Hwy 157. Setup and observed from 34.5943415, -85.4449436 on the south side of Hwy 157. Managed just barely to get some fuzzy footage almost obscured by trees.
