Bigdaddy44 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 This was taken yesterday on my way my way from Tulsa, OK to Wichita, TX. I feel good about an ID of a light juvi, but would love some input since this would be a lifer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colton V Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) This looks more like a Red-tailed Hawk with the faint belly band and dark patagial bars. I think it’s really pale because it’s a Krider’s but I don’t know much about subspecies. Edited November 1, 2020 by Colton V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Brain Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Agree with Red-tailed for the reasons @Colton V stated, and also a Ferruginous Hawk would have feathered legs where this one doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanbirds Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Pretty sure it's a Krider's Redtail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
