Tony Leukering Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 That's a good bird up on the Mesa. Note the lack of dark patagial bars, the virtual lack of a subterminal dark edge to the wings, and the very pale and unbarred finger parts of the outer primaries. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
