Observation details

On south loop about 50 meters south of south end of Old Rookery, near screw gate on ditch. Only brief looks, but (very) poor photo shows white and black-edged wing bar and very long rufous tail. A quick flyover showed bright white breast with apparent dark streaking. Sounds seem to match Merlin recordings, though the sound app didn't pick it up. This seems to be the same area that one has somewhat regularly been observed. In dense scrub on western side of ditch before flying to feed in a Russian olive on the east side of the road for a minute. Flew off toward Rio Viejo Trail.
