Observation details
Originally entered as TUVU but tail seemed short and white in wing tips didn’t show well in bad lighting and height of constant soaring with no flapping. Soaring HIGH over highest electric towers and near circling RTHAs then broke off and drifted south generally following the main electric ROW. Looking at photos on camera back the next day, realized it was a BLVU and it had two red patagial tags. Tags not legible due to distance and hand-held photos. Poor doc photo added 08/30/2023.
