Mush 7 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 post Share on other sites
AlexHenry 1,425 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 post Share on other sites
Avery 1,056 Posted Tuesday at 11:18 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:18 AM 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 post Share on other sites
