Observation details
FOS. Spotted by Wilma, we both watched the bird for several minutes as it sat near top of bare tree, with its back towards the sun, occasionally preening, and stretching, and shaking out its plumage. Description: hawk with glossy blue-gray back, glossy black or dark gray-blue-blackish wings and tail; white head and body; small black bill and eyes; wings pointed; tail the familiar scissors shape. Several photos taken, I will insert photos shortly. Bird was at the same spot where I saw 4 of this species on two separate occasions in 2023 (May and June) and same general location where I saw 1 in March of 2022 (~0.1-0.2 miles away).
