Observation details

Soaring, kiting and sparring with Raven at East end of taxiway. My favorite buteo. Wings held in slight dihedral. Tawny brown above with clear white tail and black terminal band. From below, mostly creamy white but with obvious large, black rather square looking carpel patches and a dark belly patch. All in all, a unique set of distinctive features. Flew off to the south after repeated aggravation from the Raven.
