Bob T Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Photo taken today in Willoughby, Ohio, 2 P.M. Bird was around 15 inches in height. Poor photo, but any help? Broad-winged, Maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birding Boy Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Looks like a Red-shouldered to me. You can even see the red on the shoulders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar Charts - eBird Thank you - that’s a great help. I used the iBird Pro app, and it showed the Broad-winged Hawk as a possibility. Other apps (Audubon, Merlin, Sibley) did not. Any comments on this discrepancy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
