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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meghann 142 Posted February 10 I believe so. The only Broad-wingeds I've ever seen were in flight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akira 42 Posted February 10 Yes, I'm pretty sure this is a broad-winged hawk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony Leukering 120 Posted February 11 Both are Broad-wingeds (juv and adult), which is a fairly common wintering species in Costa Rica. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Winter 5 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? 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
