smittyone@cox.net Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Seen this afternoon in NW Missouri. I've ruled out Broad-winged and Red-tailed Hawks? Did I finally see my first Red-shouldered Hawk? The 2nd shot is the closest to a top-side pic I could capture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Yes, Red-shouldered! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Brain Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Agree with Red-shouldered. The translucent area near the wing tips is a good ID mark, as well as the streaked breast (for an immature) and thin tail bands. Congrats on the lifer!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Are typical linneatus RSHA immatures this pale? I haven’t seen them for many years, but I don’t remember them being this pale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 You don't need the topside, the wingtip crescents and narrow pale tail bands ice the ID. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
