Singing Hawk


Recommended Posts

Very nice capture on the juvenile Red tail! They are by far the most common hawk species in my region. Lastw eek I counted 15 or 16 (I lost count) in a six mile stretch of highway.

Are you sure that's what it is? It looks an awful lot like a Coopers Hawk to me.

Nice capture Mike, I'd take a hawk over a finch any day!

The accipiters (goshawk, Cooper's, sharp-shinned) show tails a good bit longer in proportion to their bodies than this bird, which to my eye shows the classic buteo conformation. While some of the markings of the juvie R-T and the Cooper's are similar, I think Stu got it right.
