    Details

    Short-tailed, pink sides. Distant photo taken by myself and JGibbons. His photo most certainly will be better than this distant shot by me.
    
    This bird was first found right after we entered the large field across from the Brooker Creek Preserve entrance gate. This entrance is restricted access and is always locked, except for us today for the CBC - It is 1/4 mile or so east along Keystone Road from the BCP main entrance, which is on the south side of Keystone Road. The restricted entrance we used is on the north side of Keystone Road. The bird was first seen on a barbed wire fence - but it flew east all the way across the open field, under the tall power lines that run N-S, and then into Hillsborough County. There are some wires and a small building fairly close to the road (Keystone Rd) where it perched for the photo below. It was probably 75 yards from us.
