Title: Which Red-tailed Hawk?
Post by: cairnstone on November 11, 2014, 08:00:37 AM

This Red-tailed Hawk has been hanging around Carleton Park, Brampton, for about a week (much to the chagrin of the local Cooper's Hawks). What is the subspecies on this one? Taken this morning Nov. 11.

looks like a pretty normal Eastern adult bird to me, did you see something unusual about it?

No I saw nothing unusual about it. I just doubt I would know the difference in the subspecies.
