Observation details
ID'd (with lots of input!) as immature Broad-winged Hawk - second year bird - tail markings do not show well in photo (better in lightened photo) but tail is too short for COHA and Red-shouldered Hawk. Strong eyebrow and malar stripe; heavy streaking on sides of throat and belly - not much streaking in middle of breast; white throat; seen briefly on north shore of Butano Creek on high snag a hundred yds or so downstream from bridge on Pescadero Creek Rd; flew off in direction of Water Lane and farm fields. I was on south shore of creek walking towards the bridge
