Hi everyone,


I'm unsure of the identity of this hawk I took pictures of near Boise, Idaho this summer. This hawk seemed smaller than the Red-tailed and Swainson's Hawks that were sitting on nearby power poles and it looks different. I was wondering if it is an immature Red-shouldered or Broad-winged Hawk but I could be way off. Any ideas? Thank you

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
