So now that you know what an accipiter is, let’s do one more. This next puzzler is a bird that, like a Cooper’s and Sharp-Shinned Hawk, has a long tail and rounded wings. This bird of prey though has a very distinctive white rump that is very obvious when you see it flying. Its habit is to fly low above fields, looking for potential prey.
Check out these photos. Do you recognize it? Have you ever seen it?
Please share with me your thoughts! I always like to hear from readers, especially if you want to guess the identity of the puzzler. Just use the comment box at the bottom of the post.
Have a great weekend. Stay safe. See you again soon.
My guess is a marsh hawk with that white rump.
Arden! It’s nice to hear from you again, thanks for taking the time to write. Of course you are correct! Hope you are well and staying safe.
