birdgurl Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Can anyone tell what hawk this is by just the head? It looked like a red shoulder when it flew into the tree. all I could get was a head shot? Grants Pass Or. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvoryBillHope Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I'd go Red-tailed here. Note the white markings on the scapulars, it makes a "V" when seen from behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdgurl Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Thanks, I think your right. I think for a minute I saw the band around the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 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.
