Dot-winged form. Many of these were observed in this area - each with its own territory. Flying periodically to feed or defend, but mostly roosting in cedars or weeds. Once we figured out preferred perch habitat, they were relatively easy to find.

Had three or four Epithecas patrolling Little Barton Creek, but they were not landing. Finally got a few marginal flight shots sufficient to ID as Dot-winged Baskettail, the most common (and usually only) Epitheca found locally.
