Hawks, Eagles, Osprey, Shrike, etc.

Thanks for the correction Pat!
Now I'll remember that squarish carpal patch.
When I first saw it in the sky high and far away, I made an assumption right away that it was a Harrier. Then I was so happy it started to circle lower and towards me I quickly prepared to get the shots and didn't re- check later.
I'm glad someone half way around the world is paying attention and keeping me honest.

I love this one, Ken. The soft pastel colours really pop with the dark contrast of the bird.

Just one thing...this is a juvenile Rough-legged Hawk, not a Northern Harrier. The underwing pattern is pretty diagnostic, and a harrier would have a longer tail, more like an accipiter than a buteo.
