Red-shouldered Hawk?

Yup! Have yourself 20 points.

Yeah sure, that'd be great
I would agree with Red-shouldered, but I'll take it another step.
'Florida' Red-shouldered Hawk, Buteo lineatus extimus, an adult.

Yup! Have yourself ten points just this one time for being so precise.

If is a red-shouldered hawk, is it the one with the snake??

It is not. This guy was again photographed at Green Cay on the 1st of this year. I only saw it perched. The RSHA with the snake was a whopping 3.5 miles NW in the Loxahatchee Wildlife Refuge. 5 points to you for being so smart.

Next begins at 30 points. Please add numbers of indivuduals of each species. If your counts aren't correct but the combination of species is, you will still recieve points. I just want to see how sharp your eyes are!

Remember species counts are just for the amusement of myself. This arrangement of species has been repeating quite a bit lately.

HINT: they have also been down one species.

Go for it!
