Observation details
The buteo was observed in a cedar tree in a stand of woods just west of the UPS Cargo area. The bird took to the wing flying north past the red radar tower to another set of trees above runway marker, a black sign on ground reading number 3 in white lettering. Visible on the bird was white tail feathers with black terminal band. White wing patches visible above and below wings. When perched, the bird had large white breast with black belly. Shot this bird with a Canon 6D full frame camera with a fixed 400mm 5.6 lens on top of a wooden tripod. A good 1000 yard shot.
