Hello,

While birding the Skagit yesterday (2/19) I came across a raptor I
couldn't ID - I got two photos which are here:

The bird was about 16-18 inches. It was in a turnoff on Moore Road just
east of where Best Rd meets Moore (near the bridge). There was a
photographer there when we arrived who had much better equipment but I
didn't get his name.

Any help is much appreciated!

Thank you kindly,
