Looking for id confirmation. I’m reading Snail Kite, which is also top choice for Merlin and iNat. This would be out of range, and juvenile black hawk of one flavor or the other is also possible..

Ideas?

Thanks,
Dan

Yes, also just had a quick check and someone also reported snails kites in the area yesterday + the area has had 59 reports of snail kites.

Note bill: clearly snail kite, clearly not either black hawk.

I thought to look at earlier reports, and a guide came in at dinner who also confirmed the id.

Thanks for the replies!
