Kevin Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Is the bill not too large for a Red-tailed? Also I see no barring on it's tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came across this bird a couple of weeks ago, the bill seemed to approach the size of the one on the Bald Eagle flying nearby - it looked chunky to me anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
