Subject: [inland-NW-birders] Fun with hawk i.d.
So I went out this afternoon to Hell's Gate SP to try and locate the
red-shouldered hawk that was reported there earlier today. I joined Kas and
Debbie Dumroese and Dave Koehler in the search. I thought I might have
located it and took several photos. While I watched another hawk flew in
and bumped it off its perch. I took photos of both birds then notified the
others and we tried to relocate it. After reviewing my photos and
lightening them I think I had two red-tails, but the size difference was
pretty noticeable as the one photo shows. I don't know the description of
what was seen this morning for a red-shouldered but perhaps it may have
been one of these birds? I'd appreciate any input. There were lots of
red-tails in the area of many color varieties. Thanks!
