Observation details
On River Loop Trail. Perched mid level in a cottonwood. Flew low north through the trees, but did not provide any good flight views due to the angle. Photos TBA. Either this species or RSHA, but seemed to have a very large terminal tail band. Mostly dark hood, extending onto breast with mottled/barring down flanks, with a very dark-brown-and-white appearance on the underparts. Upper parts dark brown with some mottling, see photos. From Shane Brown on Raptor ID Facebook group: “Large-headed compact Buteo with plain dark secondaries, not the bold thick secondary bands of Red-shouldered or the fine secondary banding of Red-tailed. Sharp dark primaries with long projection beyond the secondaries but not extension to the tail tip. Juvenile Broad-winged Hawk. Tail bands are faint, but too few and too thick for Red-tailed; too much pale space between bands and too few total bands for Red-shouldered.”
