Castalia pond was mostly Canada geese, with mallards,shovelers, and a couple of bufflehead. Castalia Hatchery had four bald eagles and a small flock of yellow-rumped warblers. Bacon Woods had a hermit thrush in the main woods and a red-shouldered hawk on a pole by the maintenance area at the top of the hill. With warblers and thrushes here, can spring be far behind? Don't answer that... Craig Caldwell Westlake49_8Feb201015:39: [log in to unmask] |

This bird seems to suggest an immature Red-tailed Hawk rather than Red-shouldered because of its White-V on the scapular feathers and narrow dark tail bands (rather than thick dark bands and thick dark tip on Red-Shouldered). But I could be wrong, those young hawks can be tricky sometimes, especially in photos. Definitely isn't a Cooper's Hawk though. :)
Good Birding.
