Hi
I was out on 2 Jan hoping to see the yellow-headed blackbird in Haldimand. No such luck.
As I was driving south on about 1-2 concessions south of #3, I saw this white bird in the field. At first, I was thinking it was a snowy, but once I stopped and used my binos I realized it was a raptor. OK, some day I'll be decent with these - but that day is not now.
I'm guessing this would be either a Northern Harrier or Swainson's Hawk?
Size was about that of a Red-Tailed Hawk.
Is the 1st picture (0221) of a Red-tailed Hawk? I wasn't sure because I didn't think they showed so much banding on their tails.
Thanks a lot
Meg
