Having trouble identifying a bird? Hopefully, someone here can help.
TOPIC:
Unidentified raptor - possibly Brown Falcon, juvenile 10 months 5 days ago #3476
| Having made so many raptor misidentifications, I would welcome guidance on this bird, all photos being of the same bird, seen at Ryan's Swamp, Western Treatment Plant, Werribee. My guess, from the double malar strip is that it is a Brown Falcon, although it also has similarities with Hobbies and Kestrels. Assuming it is a Brown Falcon, I am also trying to identify whether it is a juvenile, since it seems juveniles and female Brown Falcons look quite similar. Hopefully, the multiple photo angles, including flight photos, will enable confirmation from those more experienced with raptors. Thanks, Michael |
