I couldn't match the horizontal marking under the eye or the yellow coloring on the head to any Merlin or other hawk photos on the web, so I went to the experts at Cornell. Here is the reply I received today: That's not a hawk. Notice the lack of talons on the feet. The bird is also too chunky and short winged to manage the quick maneuvers that hawks require. That's a female Northern Bobwhite. You can learn more about the species on the Cornell Lab's All About Birds online guide: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Bobwhite/idHappy FeederWatching, Anne Marie Johnson Project Assistant Project FeederWatch Cornell Lab of Ornithology 159 Sapsucker Woods Road Ithaca, NY 14850 http://feederwatch.org(607) 254-2416 I didn't think it looked too hawkish either but I'm no expert. Glad you found out what it was..interesting! |
