Large bird of Prey
jackalope22 replied to jackalope22's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Avery, Benjamin & Tony - Thank You for your input - I know there are light and dark versions of the Swainson's but the more I looked at it I started thinking Golden and after reading an article about where I went fly fishing it indicated Goldens were in that area.. I live in Iowa and here a rare Golden up north along the Mississippi may appear every now and then ...so often people here see immature Baldies and think they are goldens. My problem was most images of a Golden show front side or flying - I and I knew it wasn't an immature baldie. I appreciate your ID - Is there a -

I first identified this as a Swainsons Hawk but people tell me it might be a Golden Eagle. Found: September 1, 2020 Wyoming, about 10 miles north of Meeteetse headed toward the upper Greybull River. Time was morning about 9 am. Photo attached - It flew off before I could get a frontal view. Would like to get a better ID

Okay - those are the little things I miss ...I just don't see the yellow and It doesn't have brown tail feathers on my bird that are prominent on the Great Crested - could it be the Acadian Flycatcher. the other person mentioned. Those do enter my area in Iowa. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Acadian_Flycatcher/id

Thank You for the ID on the Easter Pewee - that has me excited because not easy to spot one of these in our area except for migrations. I am still leaning my first image is a Least Flycatcher (I only have the two photos and none showing belly). If you compare my image to the one in this link you might think they were brothers! https://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/least-flycatcher#photo4

I'll accept. all above - it just appeared much smaller than the normal females I see - so I threw the additional question out. Redwings are aplenty here. Please close as I agree.
