Regarding yesterday’s post with the photo of the hawk I saw on my walk; I found two species that looked like it. Both migrate through Florida in spring & fall on their way to Central of South America, and both prefer wooded areas. It looked the most like a Broad-winged Hawk to me, (particularly in the wing and tail stripes) but the Sharp-shinned Hawk is similar. If migrating, it wasn’t in any group of other hawks. It had yellow legs, apparently the sign of an adult. It was nowhere to be seen this morning.
