Field Notes

Description:

Long tail with a white rump patch and a facial disk. This is a female due to the brown coloration, males are gray.

Habitat:

Sitting in a tree near the bay. Had just taken a picture so I could zoom in and see what it was since it was so far away, but didn't turn out to be too terrible of a shot.
