Broad-winged Hawk
Buteo platypterus
34.06, -84.57
Field Notes
Description:
I really had a hard time figuring out whether this was another red-shouldered hawk or a broad-winged. The blunt, short tail makes me think it's a broad-winged hawk.
Habitat:
During the summer some subspecies are distributed over eastern North America, as far west as British Columbia and Texas; they then migrate south to winter in the neotropics from Mexico down to southern Brazil.
Notes:
Spotted on powerlines over a busy road through residential areas in Kennesaw, GA.
