    Details

    First seen in slow floppy flight. Dark above, pale below with dark thumbs on underwing. Tube-shaped with long round wings. When it landed on a berm in short veg, we could see the pale face with dark edges, dark eye spots and yellow eyes. More or less annual at this location, but susceptible to predation? Deep in interior of Salt Works (32.59765, -117.10765), but may be possible to see foraging at dusk from north end of 7th St.
