The original bird shows pale wing crescents and even spotting down the breast. I’m not sure why immature Red-Shouldered Hawk should be ruled out in favor of something more exciting. On Mon, Apr 8, 2019 at 6:03 PM John Gluth wrote: > While perusing the eBird Rarities photo gallery on my lunch br

Why not an immature Red-shouldered Hawk? Streaking on the breast and long wings with rather parallel leading and trailing edges fit. Gray Hawk is chunkier (like a Broad-winged Hawk). There's a picture of an immature on my web site (http://stevewalternature.com/ ), on the Butoes in flight gallery.
