Post by: Wulff on September 03, 2006, 05:23:34 PM

Was out photographing some deer when a shadow on the ground made me look to the sky. Managed 2 shots that werent siloettes during its fly by, so hopefully theseare enough to ID it.

Title: Broad-winged Hawk
Post by: B. Griffin on September 03, 2006, 06:58:09 PM

It looks to me like an adult Broad-winged Hawk, there'll be a lot of them on the move over the next several weeks. The shape of the bird and the banding pattern on the tail rule out Red-shouldered Hawk. Keep your eyes to the sky!
