--0016e6db29b53983ca047dec136c Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 All, A seasoned feeder watcher finally got pictures of a hawk that has been hanging around since before Christmas. I have posted them. The first one has a Blue Jay in it for size comparison, but is unfortunately of low res. However, the tail banding is evident. http://people.stfx.ca/rlauff/photos/hawk003.jpg <http://people.stfx.ca/rlauff/photos/hawk003.jpg>The other two are of much higher res, but do not show the tail. http://people.stfx.ca/rlauff/photos/hawk002.jpg <http://people.stfx.ca/rlauff/photos/hawk002.jpg> http://people.stfx.ca/rlauff/photos/hawk001.jpg <http://people.stfx.ca/rlauff/photos/hawk001.jpg>The thought is that it's an immature Gos...tail banding is not right for a Red-tail (or Rough-leg?), size is not right for anything else. There doesn't appear to be an eyeline though. It landed in a rural yard where feederbirds are present, but so are mice. Lots of farmland around. The wing seems to be solid brown, unlike the Gos illustration in National Geo'c. Thoughts?
