Broad-winged Hawk

Broad-winged Hawk
Far away and deep within the trees, so I was happily surprised to get an OK shot of a hawk species I had not seen before. I have been on several bird walks over the years when someone would say "Broad-winged Hawk!", but all we could see was a distant speck flying high in the sky. The Broad-winged Hawk is classified as Sensitive in the General Status of Alberta Wild Species report.
