Observation details
Continuing spectacular rarity first seen on the property 09/21/2023. Immature dark morph, a very confiding individual. Spent a long time enjoying watching this rare species hunting and flying all around, often perching very close by, seemingly not bothered by human presence, lawnmowers, or barking dogs! Caught multiple insects and at least two rodents, probably voles. Again, a very appreciative thank you to the extremely friendly homeowners for allowing birders on their property to see this gorgeous and unbelievably accommodating bird.
