Observation details
Brown chest with no mottling on it, short neck profile, golden nape visible through spotting scope, whitish under tail coverts with a dark terminal band, greater upper wing coverts visible as a dark bar, flying above and below northern ridge of Sheep Creek valley about 1/2 mile or more away from the trail. Periodically tucking in its wings and flying at accelerated speeds along side of mountain. I watched it land on a large rock that protruded from the hill side but heat distortion prevented me from getting any sharp shots. Poor Photos with ATX/65mm because of distance but better than none. Photos selected from stills of 4K/60fr/sec video footage on iPhone 14Pro.
