Observation details
Seen well, both observers with binos. Flushed by a landing RTHA from the large mesquite west of the observation tower and flew in a large circle around us south and then east and landed in a mesquite patch east of the wetlands. Large bird, similar in size to the RTHA that flushed it. Much white on wing tips, tail and head. Distinctive caracara shape and other characteristics noted. Attempted in-flight photos from a distance. May not be diagnostic.
