I expect you are very familiar with the= m however the light conditions you describe would affect its appearance to = the naked eye and a migrating bird would fly differently and have a differe= nt body/wing shape than is often seen when birds are hunting over the dunes= . Of course, it could be none of the above, it being Nova Scotia and spring m= igration having started so something from far away could show up unexpected= ly. All the best, Lance Lance Laviolette Glen Robertson, Ontario From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] = On Behalf Of Alix d'Entremont Sent: Monday, March 30, 2015 7:44 AM To: NatureNS Post Subject: EXTERNAL: RE: [NatureNS] Turkey Vulture/ Goshawk? John, Another thing to consider might be the dark morph Rough-legged Hawk that I'= ve seen a few times around the Sunday Pt Rd which is a few kms south of tha= t church. I believe it has also been seen at the northern end of Yarmouth H= arbour. A dark morph bird has a similar underwing pattern as a Turkey Vultu= re and can show a dihedral wing position. I guess it all depends on just ho= w long-tailed your bird was. Here is a video of a Rough-legged showing it flapping and then gliding as i= t moves (it is also shown hovering at times). http://youtu.be/R6kw_wZmcpc --- Alix Arthur d'Entremont BSc Geomatics Engineering 292 Abbott's Harbour Road Middle West Pubnico Yarmouth Co., Nova Scotia Canada B0W 2M0 Phone: +1 902 762 2082 Mobile: +1 902 307 0373 e-mail: alixdentremont@hotmail.com<mailto:alixdentremont@hotmail.com> Bird Photography http://www.flickr.com/photos/alixd/ Bird Documentation Photos http://www.flickr.com/photos/130170873@N08/<https= ://www.flickr.com/photos/130170873%40N08/> Blog http://alixdentremont.blogspot.ca/ ________________________________ From: nhungjohn@eastlink.ca To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: [NatureNS] Turkey Vulture/ Goshawk? Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2015 18:02:43 -0300 Hans, you've reminded me of a sighting of a large raptor cruising over sout= h end Yarmouth about 11 A.M. on Friday morning. I was beside Temple Baptis= t church and looking west, when a large guy soaring dihedrally passed appar= ently over the old Anglican cemetery, maybe about 1000 feet to the southeas= t. My initial thought was "turkey vulture," this being Yarmouth. Then I n= oticed the tail was too long and the flying included some flap-flap glide, = particularly as it turned to the north of me and flew east. The distance and the light kept me from seeing any colour, but if I got the= distance right, only a goshawk could be that size and shape. Down here, that is more exciting than turkey vultures!
