Broad-winged Hawk
The smallest of buteos with a big sounding name Viewed from its back I glimpsed the one, white band on its tail Gliding off into flight it displayed its dark-edged underwing
Great pictures! Reading your blog is always like reading a good guide book, full of interesting information on identifying birds with great illustrations :-)
april: I wasn't sure what this hawk was when I took its picture but after checking it out in field guides I found it had enough significant identifying characteristics for me to be able to id it.

ReplyDeleteAs a retired teacher sometimes I want to write, 'The lesson for today is!', for I love using this 'show and tell' media :-)
