Jon Sez: Oh my god, do not.please make me the"'Birder" of this
list. I'm no where near approaching the knowledge that designation requires.. If
anyone really wants to know about bird sightings and behavior etc. I'll be
happy to refer them to a couple of other lists I subscribe to where there are
folks that really know what they're talking about.
By the way Jim, that was more than likely a White-breasted Morph Red-Tail
Hawk you saw. A great big fine piece of the reovering urban environment.
Without the sky shining through it the cinnamon to sepia tail color won't shine
through.
A Red-Shouldered would be a more exteme urban sighting.
They're more slouchy and uninvolved.
