It seems that all the relative points have been touched on - eye size and position, tawny coloration of the face and neck, underparts patterning, leg thickness, etc. All good points. I agree that the tail characteristics are not shown well enough in these photos to be instructive. I don't think that there are 2 different birds shown in these photos - perceived differences in underparts pattern may be due to changed feather positioning from shot to shot. The pattern seems consistent enough in the general sense to believe it is the same bird. Richard Jeffers, Mike Rogers, and I went down to the Salton Sea on Friday afternoon, stopping at San Felipe Lake on the way to see the SANDHILL CRANE foraging along the southern shore. At some point it disappeared when we weren't watching, so we have no idea whether it flew into Santa Clara air space. Drat! Couldn't see any of the White-fronted Geese, but we had a MERLIN on the Santa Clara side of the road chasing swallows, of which there were hundreds and hundreds around. We spent Saturday birding the sea with Guy McCaskie and Todd McGrath. Saw great birds, such as ROSEATE SPOONBILL, ANHINGA, COMMON GRACKLE, SPRAGUE'S PIPIT, RUDDY GROUND-DOVE, etc. Mike Mammoser > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Pollack > > I could use some help identifying an immature hawk that frequented my yard > in Cupertino last year.
