CObirders,
Wheeler and Clark’s “A Photographic Guide to North American Raptors” has
pictures of juvenile hawks with streaked underparts on page 180.
Using this guide, I would add juvenile Gray Hawk, juvenile Common Black
Hawk and even juvenile Swainson’s Hawks as possibilities.
One thing that stands out to me are the large “Eagle-like” bills. I vote
for juvenile Gray Hawks! Their range includes southern New Mexico….
