I'm not good at raptor IDs, and I'm really puzzled by a pair of hawks that<br>
briefly visited our neighborhood this morning (Golden Valley, just north of<br>
Wirth Park). Unfortunately, I did not have my binocs. They were buteos,<br>
and the larger one was about the size of a Red-Tailed, but absolutely no<br>
red in the tail feathers. I had a pretty clear though brief view of the<br>
underside. Sorry I can't provide all the details, but it was some pattern<br>
of black and white, but not mottled like immature Bald Eagles. The most<br>
remarkable feature was a very clear, fairly wide band, solid and very dark,<br>
maybe somewhat rusty, that I would call a collar, at the top of the<br>
neck/start of the breast. It was clearly bordered by white on both sides.<br>
<br>
I don't see anything in Sibley that looks like this. Any ideas? Again,<br>
sorry for the lack of some details.<br>
