That's okay, I just found a photo of a juvenile that had a large white eyebrow on it! Confusing!!

Could you explain the white eyebrow? I don't understand.

I don't see any photos in my books with red-tailed hawks having white on the head.....

Saw this yesterday at Las Vegas NWR in New Mexico. The white eyebrow reminds me of an immature Goshawk, but the tail doesn't appear that long. :(

Could it be a kestrel? Haven't seen one like this before....

Sorry, only the second photo. The first one was sent in error and is another hawk.

Saw this at Bosque del Apache WLR, Socorro, NM today. Prairie Falcon? Thanks!

I understand. It looks brown on the back but black underneath to me, too! 😫

Saw this yesterday in southern New Mexico (Las Cruces). The photos are blurry but I am wondering if anyone can help me ID it. Thank you!

That really helps. Thank you!

Really? Thank you!

Can't tell which sparrow this might be. Seen in August or early September at about 7000 feet in the mountains outside of Albuquerque...

Thanks a bunch for all the info!

Saw this within the hour in my backyard, 6800 feet, pinon/juniper habitat. Juvenile lesser goldfinch? Thanks!!

I forgot to mention I'm in New Mexico near Albuquerque
