bpresby Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Good Morning, I saw this one a few days ago in South Orange County, CA. I believe it is a Northern Harrier. Sorry for the poor photo quality, it was the one day I went without the good camera and only had my iPhone. I saw this one a few days ago in South Orange County, CA.

Charlie Spencer Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 @bpresby, your bird is too red on the breast for either female or immature male harrier. It's also too bulky. The profile shots show a face that's longer than the flatter, owl-like face of a harrier. (Plus you can see the red shoulders!) https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-shouldered_Hawk/overview https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Harrier/overview 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
