Observation details
YES!!! Initially saw one fly up Cold Creek below Graveyard Lakes, and then a couple minutes later one was calling on a rock in the river in front of me. Unsure if this was the same individual or two. About 5 minutes after the one calling disappeared, another flew upriver. Description of one in flight: Sparrow sized, entirely gray bird flew directly along the river, about 6-10 ft above the water. Flew quickly and did not stop. Initially the shape reminded me of a European starling, with short wings and barely any tail. Silent or inaudible in flight.
