Observation details
Surprise!!! Probably a female given grayish plumage and spiky crest (unlikely imm at this calendar day?). Bad lighting so I could not get eye color and not shown in photos. First heard calling just southwest of the Nature Center pond in the desert plant area at approx gps 33.7274 -117.9429. I could not get a visual until the bird flew over my head. In flight, wings were located forward in the bgdy, without white wing panels observed. I later relocated in the SE part of Nature Center as the bird perched in top of a leafless snag at approx gps 33.7264 -117.9408. Did not refind.
