Birds are cool Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 It would be the 10th record of a broad Winged Hawk in the county https://ebird.org/species/brwhaw/US-TX-375 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestranger Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Broad-winged was my initial suspicion but I lacked the confidence to suggest it since they should all be gone by now, shouldn't they?

chipperatl Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 That falcon looking head with the dark "mustache" area is good point for Broad-winged...if the tail didn't nail it. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
