Skipickos Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Happy Sunday! Taken in Panama City at the Conservation Park April 4. Red-Shouldered Hawk? I see very similar pictures to a broad winged hawk on Audubon/birdseye apps... What would a major field marker be to tell the difference? Thanks! Also, off topic - came across a red-morph eastern screech owl enjoying the morning sun... Lifer for me! ? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) Yes, it's a Red-shouldered. Appears to be a youngish one with the abundance of brown on the wings. Broad-winged Hawks are more compact and they lack the white markings on the wings, and the adults have darker reddish-brown barring on the breast and their tail pattern is slightly different with the white bands being the same width as the dark bands.

Tony Leukering Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 The hawk has its entire adult tail. First-cycle Red-shouldereds would not be anywhere near this adult-like in April, even in the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
