Today around 12:30pm as I stepped outside (in Eastern Heights, Ithaca) the call of red-tailed hawk caught my attention and I quickly spotted it circling overhead. As I grabbed my binoculars, I soon realized that it was a very unusual red-tail (at least very different from the one’s I’m used to seeing). As you can see from very bad photos linked below, it was quit dark below.
So is this a western bird, or is this just a variation I haven’t seen around here before? https://www.dropbox.com/sh/t7pw5hoifjpzeey/AABcyimp4JipHTo8DwZc0r8-a — Ray -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
