Even the birds recoginize what a lousy birder I am; here a Red-tailed Hawk (I think :) ) makes ID-ing him a bit easier.

I'd be nothing without my bird ID app :)
Yeah…between Peterson’s and a couple of others we usually figure out what it is…although not always in the field and both wife and I look at the images to check. Between breeding and non, juvie and adult and in between, and random differences in a species a lot of the time it’s just hard to decide…particularly when this characteristic says xxx and this characterization says yyy
