Buteo lineatus
Dec. 21: 4 mi. E, 1½ mi. S Oart Hueneme, Ventura Co., Calif.
1 adult flew from trees along Caspar Rd just E of Ventura Co. Game Preserve's barns,
affording me a good view of its rich reddish
"shoulders" + black & white primaries + secondaries
in the instant before it disappeared around
the buildings going toward a few trees out
at edge of shooting ponds. I do not
recall having seen this species in the Mugu
area before.
