Re: [cobirds] Streaked hawks

CObirders,

Wheeler and Clark's "A Photographic Guide to North American Raptors" has pictures of juvenile hawks with streaked underparts on page 180.

Using this guide, I would add juvenile Gray Hawk, juvenile Common Black Hawk and even juvenile Swainson's Hawks as possibilities. 

One thing that stands out to me are the large "Eagle-like" bills. I vote for juvenile Gray Hawks! Their range includes southern New Mexico….

I am leaning towards Cooper's Hawk. I have seen juvenile's in groups like this after fledging.  Of course I never have my camera, so here is a bad cell phone pic.

If they were flying it would be a kettle, what do you call a group of hawks hanging out o the lawn.

This picture was taken by a friend in New Mexico ( I know this is cobirds but NM is close and we have a lot of red-tailed hawks around here!). I have never seen anything like it, it appears to be a group of young red-tailed hawks.

 Comments?
