Field Notes

Description:

this bird was found along a highway bordering the everglades.2 red tails adults thermaling. later we also saw 2 red shouldered hawks and a snail kite. i was actually a little concerned about this guy he was sitting on this wire for 3 hours but it wasn't enough for me to call a rehabber i figured that he was just hanging out.

Notes:

wow thought this guy was a juvenile red tail but further research tells that large orange feet an extra hooked bill and dark coloring.
