Charlie Spencer Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I'm keying on the streaky breast. Its shape is all wrong for an accipiter. Are there other streaky buteos that would be found in VA in the fall? Fairfax in near DC, not in the mountains. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
