jcarscadden Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) These are from Las Vegas earlier this week. It was rather hot outside so I took these from hotel window - part of the reason for poor quality. It was so hot - I saw a roadrunner - nice one..but only running he did was from shade to shade 1 what kind of hawk..these two are the same bird Vegas Hawk by Jim Carscadden, on Flickr Vegas Hawk by Jim Carscadden, on Flickr 2 could this be a Cackling Goose or just plain Canada Goose or something else? They seemed more brown than the ones we see here in Baltimore County Vegas Goose by Jim Carscadden, on Flickr thank you...

HamRHead Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 The dark edge on the wing would suggest Rough-legged hawk. And while I am in guessing mode, I would say normal Canada Goose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarscadden Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 hmm my guide makes the rough legged hawk look different so I looked it up in Allaboutbirds - Cornell and there have been no sightings in the past few years anywhere near Las Vegas. As I mentioned this was from my hotel room in Vegas. But who knows..thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
