A little more info for anyone looking to chase, I know a few are already
making plans.
We first saw the bird over hwy 92 flying south with some Rock Pigeons. We
quickly flipped a U-turn and got on the bird as it flew southwest towards
the river. It perched on some hay bales on private property south of the
highway on county road 206. We drove down to the railroad tracks
(41.318404,-102.092729) to view it. It was acting a lot like a Harrier,
flying low over the river and grasslands, occasionally perching back up in
the fields or on hay bales. Mike and Mike spent an additional 90 minutes
watching and it appeared over the horizon for a few minutes at a time,
presumably landing in the field (private property) nearer the river between
flights.
