I don't have a lot of experience with them. But I have seen them hovering
like a kestrel, when searching for prey at dusk, but still quite light.
This was at the Kelley River mouth on the Noatak River, north of Kotzebue,
Alaska. One hovered, moved a short distance and then hovered again.
Quite spectacular. Bob OBrien Portland
