- Comments: "Sitting for about 10 minutes in a forested area behind the well house picnic tables, then flew to another nearby perch. Initially thought it was a red shouldered but was advised that the broad white tail bands, dark face and breast, and solid brown tail wings are more characteristic of the broad-wing, although they are uncommon in this area and especially in this season. Pictures attached."
