Mr Noggs Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I really have no idea what this is. I was originally thinking Rough-legged but that tail band is making me wonder. Appreciate the help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexHenry Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Definitely a Rough-legged Hawk! In the future, it can be helpful for ID purposes to include an approximate location and date. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Noggs Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 Right, sorry. It was a week ago, central BC, Canada. Thanks for the quick response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 The tail band is perfectly normal. While juvenile RLHAs have a generally dark distal half of the tail, there's usually a blacker subterminal band hidden in there, as illustrated by this bird. However, your bird's tail is typical of adult female RLHA, which usually sports an obvious black subterminal band with the occasional individual sporting one or two additional narrower tail bands (as here; note the dark eyes). Adult males typically exhibit one or more additional tail bands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, nobody's getting that one. Nope, googling John Grimes books that I didn't read doesn't help either. I get the sentiment but have never heard the expression.
