Observation date: April 03, 2019
Submitted by: benlcarson
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Clipped wing; I gently invited it to my hand and took it indoors hoping it could remain safe from nearby predators while resting and perhaps healing. It soon became more active and I opened a window; it exited, and flew energetically, but erratically, upward toward the sun.
