HamRHead Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Today. Augusta, GA. I thought American Kestrel in the field. Now I'm not sure. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) This is a Sharp-shinned Hawk. Based on the shape of the hawk, you can observe that it is an accipter, not a falcon, due to the long tail, broad wings, and broad chest. Based on the plumage, note the thick black-and-white bands throughout the tail that American Kestrels lack.
