Hi all!
Great site! I don't have a picture YET but I'm on a mission to find out what kind of hawk this may be. Everything I have seen points to a Rufous morph of a Broadwing. BUT this guy is HUGE. From my vantage point at the time I was just above when he flew by. He hangs out in a culvert for a run off creek right out side the window.. (we've seen beaver and deer in there too!) My be nesting near by? So here is a discription to get you started!
Location NE Ohio near Lake Erie..busy suburban area (car dealerships all around!) some "wooded areas" (as wooded as you can get in suburbia)
Color: Back head and wings all solid rust no visiable markings (might have black tips on wings not sure)
Tail: black with white banding (points to B-W yes?)
Size: HUGE I want to say he was wing tip to wing tip 5ft!
Any ideas??????? I've got my book and my camera at the ready so hopefuly I can get a pic.
thanks!
sarah
