Phalarope713 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Probably calurus/alascensis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Friedman Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 This Red-tail is strange because the breast is darker than the belly, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Just now, egosnell2002 said: I thought western referred to calurus/alascensis? That eBird slash entry is used because differentiating the two different subspecies is difficult. The "English" name for alascensis" is Alaska Red-tailed Hawk.
