Field Notes
Description:
Individual Harris Hawks range in length from 46 to 76 cm (18 to 30 in) and generally have a wingspan of about 1.1 m (3.6 ft) They exhibit sexual dimorphism with the females being larger by about 35%. In the United States, the average weight for males is about 710 g (25 oz), while the female average is 1,020 g (36 oz). They have dark brown plumage with chestnut shoulders, wing linings, and thighs, white on the base and tip of the tail, long, yellow legs and a yellow cere. The vocalizations of the Harris's Hawk are very harsh sounds.
Notes:
Can't tell if it's a Geranoaetus melanoleucus or a Geranoaetus polyosoma, both are commonly found in the area, and juveniles can look similar from afar.<br>
--edit--
As Liam made me realize, this is most likely a Harris's Hawk or Peuco.
