    Hawk ID in Southern Illinois

    Ah ok then, this was really the very southern tip of Illinois at Horseshoe Lake Conservation Area. I am tempted to call this a Kriders as I am not seeing any other matching subspecies from the plumage. It struck me when I saw it, this very white raptor sitting there.

    Hawk ID in Southern Illinois

    Thanks, that was very interesting. My photo, especially with the white undertail, looks like some of those photos, but according to that the range is all wrong. On page 68 of my Crossley guide there is a hawk (#3) that looks somewhat similar (lacking a belly band, although the tail is more...

    Hawk ID in Southern Illinois

    The head is probably not white enough based on that, but the bird seemed off when I saw it (compared to typical Red-tailed Hawks), especially with the almost pure white front. The second is purposely underexposed to ensure nothing is hidden in the white.

    Hawk ID in Southern Illinois

    What are you looking for in the highlights? The histogram does not show them as blown. Maybe this copy helps? I didn't spend a lot of time on developing it since it is not a great photo but I can do more if necessary.

    Hawk ID in Southern Illinois

    I took this photo back in February in the southern tip of Illinois. I was wondering if it was the Krider's variant of the Red-tailed Hawk.

    ID in Charlotte, North Carolina

    Yes, I immediately let the local birding group know of it once you guys told me, but I don't think it was rediscovered yet. I did specifically go to the location at the right time to get get some decent photos with the sun at my back, but unfortunately this guy didn't cooperate in a spot with a...

    ID in Charlotte, North Carolina

    I went out to get back in the swing of things and hopefully see some migrants, and I ran across this guy and for some reason I am drawing a blank. Can someone help clear my mental block?

    Sea birds between France and Ireland

    Great! I guessed right on the Manx Shearwater and was pretty sure I had Razorbills but knew some of them looked different. I have additional photos of them also. Not concerned with the loon - it looked like one to me but wasn't sure if they were in that part of the world.

    Texas LBJ

    Ha! I wondered if it could be, looking at the beak. We missed that bird although we looked quite a bit and I think I took this photo randomly of something I couldn't ID. Can anyone confirm this as a White-collared Seedeater or tell me otherwise?

    Texas LBJ

    I took this at Salineno Wildlife Preserve back in February and I can't remember what it is, can anyone help?

    Hawk with kill, south Texas

    Grackle makes sense. The (what looked like) white on the edges of the feathers and the fact that I had just been looking at other photos of an anhinga skewed my thought, but you are right that would be too big.

    Hawk with kill, south Texas

    As a bonus, can you tell what the kill is? My guess is Anhinga.
