Hawk ID - Central Southern Texas (1 Viewer)

[rubonix]

Hello all -

A few days ago we saw this Hawk on some country roads in farm country. Wanted help with ID. This is a short video taken of the bird on a windy day, so forgive the camera shake on some of it from the hand holding.

Red-tailed Hawk for me, a 1st-winter bird (brown barred tail), a pale individual (pale enough for "Krider's"? Not sure!)

Juvenile "Krider's" Red-tailed Hawk. White head. They winter over from Des Moines, Iowa along the southern Mississippi River between the Waco, Texas area east to Alabama down to the Gulf of Mexico per range maps in Wheeler's "RAPTORS of Eastern and Western North America." (Wheeler identifies 'Kriders' as the Pale Morph of the Eastern Red-tailed Hawk at page 320 in the Western Edition.)
