Observation details
!!!! Second county record! Seen briefly, noticed a small buteo chasing a young Red-tailed Hawk. Noticed smaller size, almost accipiter-like flight style, with broad white primary windows. Appeared to be reddish/orange below. At this point I suspected Red-shouldered Hawk but didn't think I had seen enough to call it. About 5 minutes later I heard a very loud "kee-yur! kee-yur! kee-yur!" call, diagnostic of Red-shouldered Hawk, from the largest deciduous tree in the area (might be a Black Locust?) which clinched the ID. The bird preceded to call for about 5 minutes, allowing me to take a good recording. The bird has since moved to the riparian forest on the southeast side of the bridge, viewable from the road. Kevin has seen and heard the bird occasionally from that area, I think he may have some poor photos. The habitat in this area is very similar to the habitat in which I've found this species in Oregon and California. Hopefully others will see this bird and get some photos!
