The only book I have to look at for hawks is the NGS Field Guide, so
perhaps someone with more resources available to them could shed some
light on why this wouldn't be a Broad-winged Hawk. The unfeathered
legs, lightly streaked chest, dark malar stripe, dark banded tail
with white/light terminal band, and light eyes fit. I realize
these characters fit other species as well, so how do you tell them
apart?
Time to build a bigger bookcase!
