Viewing Conditions: Lighting was excellent - Clear, sunny day with sun behind us. Bird was flushed at an estimated distance of 20'. The bird then flew several hundred yards (est.) in plain view before it disappeared in a grove of trees. Used 7x35 Bausch + Lomb binoculars. The bird was seen sitting at 20 briefly before flushed. |
