Field Notes

Description:

Medium sized hawk. Perched in a tree over a wetland. Could only get a picture from behind before it flew off, so I'm not sure about the ID.

Habitat:

Wetland

Thank you. Now that I think about it, I'm guessing both pictures are probably the same bird. Pictures were taken in roughly the same location, a few hours apart. One seemed smaller, and a different angle made me think it was a different species.
