IvoryBillHope 220 Posted February 5 I'd go Red-tailed here. Note the white markings on the scapulars, it makes a "V" when seen from behind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony Leukering 120 Posted February 11 The eye is paler than that typically shown by juvenile Red-shouldered and the bird in question does not sport the typical strong barring on the secondaries of Red-shouldered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
