Seattle Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 This was taken today in Central WA. I thought it was a rough legged when I first saw it. The dark bib reminded me of a rough legged and when I saw the streaking I questioned what it was. Thanks in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
