| Event Remarks |
Viewing Conditions: Distance: At closest range we got to within 25 feet of the perched bird, estimated distance that we observed the bird at length through binoculars was about 30 feet. Light: Light was at our backs as we viewed the bird in front of us, since the sky was overcast lighting was not the best for observation but adequate for seeing needed field marks. |
