Such a striking bird! And so unlike most of the other raptors! Great spotting! I'd love you to add this spotting to the mission Raptors of North America: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8627557

Neat! I spotted a pair in the burn area when we visited Brazoria the first week of March. PN http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/19765028 Do you know about the State Parks of Texas Mission? You might find it interesting. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/19765028
