Buteo lineatus lineatus
Hawk. Likely a juvenile due to vertical streaking on chest. One atop the patio table's umbrella. When it flew off, I noticed another on the fence. Seen in early afternoon ~2pm.
Maryland, US.
Any better guesses on ID? Could it be a juvi Cooper's?
Thanks, Liam, for the suggestion. I suspected it might be a juvenile since adult raptors around here don't seem to have vertical streakiness on their chests.
Christy, I'll happily add it. I was thinking how I didn't see that mission in my list, but then realized I have to go add the mission before it'll show up. I'll do so. Cheers!
What an honor! Great spotting! I'd love you to add this to the mission Raptors of North America: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8627...
