A very early RED-SHOULDERED HAWK was seen today, or it stayed over to enjoy
the cold and snow here in Maine instead of nice weather in Fla.

2 species
Red-shouldered Hawk 1 As I was driving on Rt. 9 in Berwick, I noticed
a hawk with a dark back fly from the side of road into the trees. I parked
at the end of Sidney Dr. and walked along the road. It was a clear sunny
day, and with the sun behind me I saw a buteo fly from the tree line. It
banked and I saw the white and black tail bands and dark back. As it circled
I saw the same white and black tail bands and the bright red shoulders,
belly, throat. Than a Red-tailed Hawk came into the same bino view. It was
great comparison of the shape of the two birds. The Red-shouldered had
narrower and shorter wings and slightly smaller. The Red-tailed had a nice
red tail.
