CLOSED: Hawk ID

Norman, OK

Took a walk around a local wilderness area this afternoon and saw a hawk I've not seen before. Perusing my Sibley's, it looks more like a Harris Hawk than anything else. Take a look and see what you think. http://picasaweb.google.com/okierednek/SuttonWilderness#slideshow/5450130555825082578

Yep, Harris's Hawk. Very popular with falconers, safe to assume it is an escape, not a wild bird.

A few have been recorded in OK. I felt sure it was a Harris's Hawk, but had never seen one and it is out of it's range. I'd seen it a couple of days prior, but was too far away to id.
