    USA - Hawk ID from Texas

    Hey everyone, I saw this hawk today at a heron rookery right outside downtown Dallas and can't figure it out. I would like to think it is a Broad-winged, because I've never seen one before, but I fear it is yet another Red-tailed. Please help if you can. Thank you!

    Unknown Egret in Texas

    I saw this egret that looks like a hybrid...maybe? He or she looks to be a cross between a Great Egret and a Cattle Egret. My field guide does not mention the Great Egret having colored plumes on his back so I have to wonder. Does anyone have any information about this? Please let me know!
