Shrike 6 Posted February 9 I saw these in Costa Rica, but they're seen in the states too. I just need a confirmation that they're Broad winged. maybe the first is a juvenile? On the second, the neck stripe is less pronounced. broad-winged Hawk2 by Dave, on Flickr Broad-winged Hawk by Dave, on Flickr 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meghann 174 Posted February 10 I believe so. The only Broad-wingeds I've ever seen were in flight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akira 99 Posted February 10 Yes, I'm pretty sure this is a broad-winged hawk. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony Leukering 122 Posted February 11 Both are Broad-wingeds (juv and adult), which is a fairly common wintering species in Costa Rica. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Winter 20 Posted February 12 Just jumping in to how nice these shots are. Great detail and lighting - love how macro this is given it is a hawk! Pardon for butting in, but what did you shoot with? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shrike 6 Posted February 12 Thanks. I shot this with 600 mm, but hawk was pretty close! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
