Miss Marge Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 This is the only shot I got, and it's probably a long shot, but can anyone id this hawk? I may be grasping ?. Again, taken in Orange County, California in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colton V Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Red tail = Red-tailed. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colton V Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Just now, Colton V said: Red tail = Red-tailed. Other field marks to look for are dark leading edges to the wings (called patagial marks) and a belt of dark feathers across the belly. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike R. Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Agree with red tail Hawk. The tail is red and you can make out the belly band in the photo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
