I don't think that it is a Northern Goshawk because it doesn't have the distinctive "conspicuous" eyebrow and a juvenile would have much heavier blackish-brown streaks on its flanks. The dark patch below the eye, adjacent to the throat is peculiar also.<br /><br />I have never seen the Krider's Red-tailed Hawk but it is a "white morph" Red-tail that lives on the Great Plains. Looking in my National Geographic Field Guide to North American Birds, the description and drawing fits this bird well. It has the mottled scapulars (like most Red-tails) and the dark area under the eye. It also has "underparts whiter with thinner and paler brownish streaking" than the common Red-tail. From what I understand, if it is a "Krider's", they are rather rare.<br /><br />Hawks are notoriously difficult to ID because of their varied plumage but you might want to contact your local Audubon for an ID. If you do, please let me know what you find out!Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09072345959644694466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462088787958866686.post-68898965963696179692013-02-05T00:58:13.517-06:002013-02-05T00:58:13.517-06:00Beautiful picture :)Beautiful picture :)Vores havehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170564383377563887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462088787958866686.post-31594589562064014472013-02-04T22:06:10.735-06:002013-02-04T22:06:10.735-06:00It appears to be very much like a Mississippi Kite...It appears to be very much like a Mississippi Kite, which we have here year round now. However, his chest feathers seem much lighter than a Kite, but he's definitely missing some tail feathers, whatever he is.
