  1. Red-tailed Hawk in southern Colorado

    Red-tailed Hawk in southern Colorado

    Saw this juvenile red-tailed hawk near Poncha Springs in the southern end of the Rockies in Colorado. There were quite a few red-tails and other hawks in the area when we were there near the beginning of November.

    What bird is this?

    I took this pic on my phone through binoculars, so sorry for the bad quality. Does anybody know what bird this is? Sparrow? Mockingbird? Wren? Female red winged black bird? I’m not an avid anything, this is the first year having a bird feeder in my backyard and enjoy knowing who my visitors are...
