Jodi Nielson Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I've seen Cooper's, Red-tailed and Broad-winged Hawks in my yard and surrounding pastures and woodlands. This one made a really quick stop and this was the only picture I could get of him. The white head threw me a bit. Is it a juvenile? Thanks in advance.

Jodi Nielson Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) I live on the north end of Bowling Green, KY, out in the county surrounded by pastures and woods and not far from the Barren River. I've been told there are some Bald Eagles around here but I've never been lucky enough to spot them. He looked "small" by comparison to the adult Hawks I'd seen yesterday, but he was also tucked up behind branches a 50+ year old giant Ash tree.

Jodi Nielson Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 No guesses? I was wondering if maybe he was a young Red-tailed Hawk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerri Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I was wondering if it was perhaps a broad winged hawk? I see very wide white bands with black on what appears to be a short tail. Wait for the experts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird-Boys Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 BWHA was my impression also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodi Nielson Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 This BWHA showed up today, so maybe. I guess I'm still wondering about the white face of the original subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
