Observasjonsdetaljer
While driving east on 400S, a car was stopped taking a photo of this Buteo perched near the road. I pulled up alongside the other car and took photos thinking it might be the hybrid that Michelle Holycross photographed on Jan 1. While the banded tail of this immature led me to calling it a RTHA X RLHA it did not appear to be the same immature hybrid seen by Holycross and eBirded at https://ebird.org/checklist/S62894775. As my friend Occam said, this seemed highly unlikely. Excellent photos from a photographer were posted to Facebook about Jan 17 that demonstrated lighting plays a critical role in how the tail appears. The photos were conclusive that my bird and the Holycross bird was the same individual.
