With Ian's permission, I'm delighted to share his informative article about differentiating Red-tailed Hawk subspecies that may also be found in New York State. To read the article and see the pictures, please visit the Vermont eBird website at:
http://ebird.org/content/vt/news/red-tailed-hawks-recognizing-subspecies-in-vermont/ And feel free to visit Vermont and report your hawk, and songbird, duck, woodpecker, etc. sightings up there as well. : ) Rich Guthrie New Baltimore, The Greene County,' New York ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ian Worley <iwor...@uvm.edu> Date: Mon, Feb 27, 2017 at 7:06 PM Subject: [VTBIRD] Red-tailed Hawk subspecies in Vermont .... and how to submit them to eBird To: vtb...@list.uvm.edu Red-tailed Hawk subspecies are catching birders' eyes in neighboring states, and now in Vermont. How are they recognized and how should they be reported to eBird and the Vermont Bird Records Committee? What if I'm not interested in the subspecies? These questions are answered in a new article just published on the Vermont eBird website: http://ebird.org/content/vt/news/red-tailed-hawks-recognizin g-subspecies-in-vermont/ If you have questions regarding eBird entries of subspecies, feel free to contact any of the six Vermont eBird county coordinators/reviewers: Sue Elliot, Craig Provost, Spencer Hardy, Kyle Jones, Ian Worley, and Kent McFarland. Good birding to all as spring migration rolls in during the next many weeks!
