Mush Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Hello, When kayaking in central Florida, I noticed this red-tailed hawk with an extra pale belly. I was wondering what subspecies it was. My guess is borealis, since the head is too dark to be Krider's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexHenry Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 A pale Red-tailed Hawk... yes I realize that doesn’t answer your question, sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I agree with borealis. The white throat rules out a lot, and though a few ssp have variable belly bands, the almost nonexistent one on this bird helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 And obviously a migrant, as umbrinus is typically quite different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
