zek 0 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I think if Moll would post more photos on Birdforum it might help - they've reached almost 100 posts on the bird (tho' they're just as puzzled as we are here!). Recent opinions are favouring Red Tailed Hawk, or maybe some other escapee, tho' they're only opinions - no-one seems to be sure. thanks, Zek. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jasper65 6 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Hello Zek! I think all of us can only guess from the profile of the bird in flight, Its going to be a hard one to get a definite ID on this one without a clear view of its plumage.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
