While working for Minnesota Audubon last summer I photographed this Red-tailed Hawk in Marshall County, MN on 5/2/12. I just now got around to sorting through some of my pictures and was hoping to get some opinions on it. Is this a Krider's, Light Eastern, Partially Leucistic, or Harlan's Morph Red-tailed Hawk? My original ID was Krider's Morph, but Red-tail Hawk subspecies/morph ids can be pretty difficult, and I have no previous experience with similar individuals. I saw this hawk off and on for about a month just north of the Marshall/Polk County line.
http://williamhblackburniibirding.shutterfly.com/pictures/179 Sorry for the picture size. Shutterfly seems to reduce it. You can make the pictures larger by clicking slideshow then fullscreen, but it still wont be full size. Anyone have any recommendations for hosting a full resolution photo? Flickr perhaps? Thanks for any input on the ID. Bill Blackburn Boulder, CO ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
