Sighting

What a great way to divert oneself while on the way to the city dump! This gorgeous adult light morph was atop the high poles on the Western side of the road and flying down onto that cow pasture for crunchy little Rodent-Bites. It succeeded twice in 6 attempts and then flew high in the sky in lazy circles, giving a great view of its underside as ravens and a Red-tail flew nearby. You folks living in this area have such a great place to call home and watch birds.
