FuldaBirds Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Was in the Grand Canyon today and took a picture of the attached raptor. This the best photo I was able to get of it. Merlin says zone tailed but I’m skeptical since they seem to be rare for the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Friedman Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Common Black Hawk has a shorter tail--the feet cover the white band--and a pale patch at the base of the outer primaries, near the leading edge of the wing. Also, there are quite a few eBird reports of Zone-tailed from Grand Canyon NP in the past month. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
