Visiting Broad-winged Hawk in Canon City
Info Post
Broad-winged Hawks are rare visitors to the Canon City area with usually only one or two birds found each year. I spotted this one as I was driving and was able to get these good photos before it flew off. It is one of the more heavily marked birds and I find it's dense barring. And that 'pale orangish brown iris' (well described by Brian Wheeler) is unusual for adult hawks which usually have darker irises. SeEtta
