Observation details

Continuing Juv. After no luck in the morning decided to drive down to 7 mile rd and Dellanera RV Park. When leaving I saw the Yellow-headed Caracara flush from a roadside billboard and fly back east. I tried to follow the bird and went back to the Mini Golf parking lot and waited. About 10 mins later the bird flew in to a dead Palm tree in the field between the Go Karts and Mini Golf businesses. Photos tba.
