Quiscalus quiscula Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Just now, CMac322 said: Curious as to what weird-looking means...I'm historically bad at hawk identifications so this could only be educational Just not what I'm used to. Probably just because I haven't seen many juvies, I see more adults where I am. It's possible that it's a different subspecies as well, I'm not sure what subspecies are a bit further south (I'm in upstate NY). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a juvenile; the streaking pattern and dark eye mean it's an adult. It might look weird because it's holding its wings underneath its tail.
