Applesauce Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I shot this this Saturday morning in a marshy lake area along the Potomac in Maryland around noon. Sorry for the picture quality. I only saw it briefly, but it seemed fairly small, crow size or smaller. Given the length of the tail, I'm thinking falcon and Kestrel is the one that seems the best fit but as always I struggle identifying raptors. Welcome your thoughts.

Applesauce Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 Thanks! I can see it now that you point it out. I think I'll have to repeat bird ID 101. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
