smittyone@cox.net Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I saw what I thought was my first Red-shouldered Hawk (verified by you folks) earlier in the week at Loess Bluffs NWR, in NW Missouri. However, looking through my own archives, I ran across this pic taken at the same place waaay back in Jan. 2017. Was this also a Red-shouldered Hawk, or an immature dark morph (or Harlan's) Red-tailed Hawk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 The pale tail bands are far too wide for Red-shouldered; this is a juvenile rufous-morph Red-tailed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
