Observation details
Flushed from the meadow by Palm Ave. Mottled brown and black upperparts. First thought it was a meadowlark but then noticed the lack of any yellow on the underparts as it flew. Getting bins on it I could see the large head in proportion to the body and small white corners to the outer tail feathers. Rounded wings clearly visible in flight. Flew low to the ground. Wing beats were floppy and reminded me of an owl. Short glides interspersed between periods of flapping.
