A photo taken an instant before my camera started recording the video
Observation details
Video of the continuing female perched on a tall forb (and probably aware of the 2 immature Cooper's Hawks working the area). After almost 2 hours standing in one place, I noticed her around 9 AM and recorded video at 9:12. I showed 2 couples the lurker between 9:15 and 9:30. The bird may have just bathed (wetting its belly) and spent my recording time wiping its bill. My location 32.2045, -110.9893 was within the wash and about 200 ft W of the hotspot location. The bird ranged from 70-100 ft W of the E wall of the wash, foraging low and almost always hidden in the forb (weed) thicket. Presuming you're walking south along the paved path from W Starr Pass Blvd, look in the wash between (measured along the paved path) the 2nd and 5th small mesquites you'll encounter between the path and the wall of the channel.
