nevsar Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Truth be told, I thought this was a broad-winged hawk. Red-shouldered hawks I've seen are more slender. However, given the time of the year, broad-winged hawks are rare, and hence my doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike94703gmail Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Unexpectedly close call on a juvenile bird. Yes, I think the primarily white-stripes-on-dark-field look of the tail confirms Red-shouldered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelodger14 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I believe this to be an immature Red-tailed Hawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dark tail bands are too wide for a Red-tailed Hawk, plus the streaking pattern on the breast is wrong.
