Thanks Liam & Christy. I was having a Hell of time with this Buteo.

Nice capture! I have added the common and scientific name per Liam's correct suggestion above. This is a very important piece of information as it removes the spotting from the unidentified portion of our database. Thanks for adding it to the Raptor mission!

Harriers have distinct facial disks, similar to that of an owl.
