flushed up just ahead of us. We watched it fly maybe 50 yards before it
sat back down under a pine in a shaded spot. Some what similar appearance
to a burrowing owl but more of dark grayish brown. Somewhat long broad
wings and short tailed look. Maybe a female didn’t notice any white in
tail. It glided away from us and knew exactly what it was based on previous
history of flushing them in the past. I went over near where it landed and
could not pick it up due to their amazing camouflage. It then picked up
again just 10 feet from us and gave to quick cluck-cluck calls.
