Detalhes da observação
Large buteo with long, narrow wings, a dark greyish-brown back (without the white spots on the back of a Redtail), and a white breast with a little faint streaking on the upper breast. We observed it for at least 15 minutes -- perched, hovering, and soaring directly overhead -- before it flew off to southeast. It had the hooded appearance of a subadult, light morph Swainson's, but the clearest field mark was the contrast between the dark flight feathers and the light coverts. The long pointed wings (relative to other buteos) were also diagnostic. Mike Myers took many photos, and I've posted several of those.
