We made a quick run through Carlos Avery this morning and saw a number of
hawks. There were at least 3 rough-legged hawks circling over one of the
grassy areas. We found a different one perched on the top of a dead birch
tree and I am wondering if it could be a juvenile ferruginous hawk. It had
a very light breast and when it flew, just the wing tips were black. I feel
it had too much white on its head to be a broad wing or red tail. It looks
very much like the light juvenile (1st year) in Sibley (big book not FG) --
page 124. I have a pretty decent photo of it perched, no photo of it
flying. If anyone would like to take a look and see what it might be, I can
email the photo to you.
Thanks for any help!!
