Media notes
A wintering, juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk, present since at least 25 December 2021 when reported by Naresh Satyan and Ted Keyel, here photographed in flight by Curtis A. Marantz on 31 January 2022 at the Evergreen Cemetery in El Cento, Imperial County, California.
Observation details
Continuing juvenile. Heard kerr kerr kerr vocalizing then briefly saw hawk fly towards NW corner of cemetery. Dark wings and back with pale splotches. Chased by American Kestrel. Later heard calling from south side and relocated. Chased a Red-tailed Hawk a few times. Reddish underparts with checkerboard patterning on wings. Photos. There was a second small buteo that could have been a second Red-shouldered, but we did not get good looks.
