Observation details

Photos. Called out by Rob Harbin in flight as it blasted past our group of onlookers along crossover road. Thankfully, it then put down along the western edge of the NW pit (35.0608188, -90.1438630) and foraged there, providing good scope views and distant photos. Spectacular. Seen twice in the early AM but then not detected subsequently.
