This young bird has a barred tail without the black band as we can see at ad birds. Good pixture.<BR/>And the Turkey Vultures, I beleeve they are all over the place.<BR/>Peregrine Falcon, always nice to see a adult peregrine.<BR/>Harris Hawk, good pixture, even in this light conditions it is easy to observe the typical white tips on tail and also the white under tail covers. Good pixture.<BR/><BR/>By the way, can you mention the other raptor species you observed during your weekend in Mejia? Maybe only American Kestrel?<BR/><BR/>Brgds<BR/>FinnFinn Jørgensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11298673752866647168noreply@blogger.com
