| 1 | hawk sp.Accipitridae sp. (hawk sp.) very distant in scope, flying E fairly high over the Perogil & Fojo area, at my distance not quite identifiable w/ general Accipiter/sparrowhawk shape, dark top, and reddish/rusty underside visible, but no details. Seeing Haris Little's report of a Gavião/Eurasian Sparrowhawk flying high and fast to the east at Margarida (a little W of Margarida) in the same time period, I wonder if this was the same individual continuing on east. |
