Hi all,
These two (first picture) seen 2 weeks ago on North coast of Trinidad. Distant view in rainy weather through my scope. I have zoomed in and enhanced one as best I can (second picture). Through my scope both birds appeared to be all black. My best bet on ID is Common Black Hawk but neither bird shows any sign of the characteristic white banding on the tail.
Your thoughts greatly appreciated.
Cheers
John
