Can you tell me if this is a hawk or a falcon? Adirondack Mountains of New York State, taken in early July. Birdzilla.com: We have had several comments regarding this bird, with red-shouldered hawk being the most common response. The bird has an unusal pose, with the neck appearing to be stretched up and forward, perhaps peering over a branch for a better view. The only obvious marks are the horizontal bars across the chest. The wing appears to be uniformly brown. Adult red-shouldered hawks have narrow, horizontal orangish streaks that merge to a solid orange under the throat. Juvenilles have heavier barring but verticle streaks on the neck. The wing pattern on red-shouldered hawks also tend to be a stronger dark brown or black and and white pattern. Broad-winged hawks have broad, horizontal streaks and a more uniform, brown wing, as compared to the red-shouldered hawk. This would appear then to be a broad-winged hawk. |
