Jose Antonio Sanchez Almada"
Was moved; unsure of original location. It was local, on the preserve.
Forgive the poor photo, it was all we could get amidst the characteristic wildly loping flight. Way up the Buck Ridge trail in the King Range, seen in a fresh chaparral burn on the edge of redwood forest and intact chaparral.
I yelped "take a picture!!!" Before falling to me knees! I am not worthy!!
Second shot is of same mating pair after they flew together to another spot.
