Detalles de la observación
Seen perched in a shrub along the stream in reach 4, then flew to another shrub a bit upstream, shortly above the culvert. It then flew upstream and I lost sight of it behind a hill. Almost certainly the same bird observed again between 1036 and 1042, north of reach 3, soaring and circling low over the windward side of the rolling grassy hills in a gentle W breeze. Made occasional flaps, but none very heavy - more for maneuvering than power? Once, seen skimming very low over a slope. Apparently hunting? Saw dorsally reddish tail, indicating adult. Plumage characteristics seem to match those of the adult RTHA seen on 20 Nov - likely the same bird?
