Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawks at Game Farm Rd.

thanks all for the advice. I observed these hawks for a while to try to set
the details in my mind. I thought they were red tails, as that is the type
I see the most often, but wanted to make sure. Great spot for observing
them in different positions.

  Hi Toby,
 Red-tail Hawks. That area is locally famous for large numbers of these
 beauties. Other raptors will hunt this area also. I think the yellow tinge
 under the tail was caused by light through the red above.
 Cheers ,
 Gary

[cayugabirds-l] Hawks at Game Farm Rd.

2013-03-03 Thread Tobias Dean 
Driving by at 4:45 PM there were at least half a dozen hawks that looked
like the same species eying the pheasants. When they soared the underside
of the tails seemed to have a yellowish tinge, but the tails seemed red
above.
I would love a more expert observer to identify them for me.

  thanksToby
