It must be something special. Ok, I am guessing Swainson's but have a feeling he is posting some SW bird or Northern Mexican raptor like an immature gray hawk.

Juv Redtail is possible esp due to the upturn in the outer wings and the lack of a white wing window (Redshoulder trait) but the tailbands seem clear enough to be conclusive. Redshoulders have 3 to 5; Tails have 7 to 11. Other species? Swainies are trimmer and wings held higher. Peregrines are heavier in the head and fast so blurier in pics. Harrier is narrow in every direction, body and wings. Red Kite (milan) is in Europe. - Great pic - thanks - Allen Fish, GGROAllen Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09597342243096874679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-54532462291094466592013-04-30T22:15:20.069-07:002013-04-30T22:15:20.069-07:00beautiful blur .. ;-))
