Comments
all PRFA photos from 400 m radius from noted location point; this species has been a regular late July to Sept. visitor here, primarily attracted to the very large cattle pasture to E (see eBird for further details). This photo shows 3 (ad and juv on ground to left, juv on post) feeding on an abundant grasshopper crop in cattle pasture.
