Observation Date / Time
Location is approximate. Documentation with GPS coordinates and voice recording about vegetation and weather were lost when cell phone ceased to function. Backup of cellphone data was not able to be recovered. The bird was definitely on CA Hwy 49 in the really slow, full of tight turns section above Mariposa before the bridge that crosses the Merced River. If someone is able to work magic on my broken phone's memory; I will update this post.
