Heya Folks,
I spotted a bird of prey Thursday at Brazoria NWP that I need help IDing. Unfortaunately I was unable to shoot a photo of it as my camera lacks a zoom (I REALLY need a new camera!).
The bird was on a sign so I was able to get a decent estimate of its height. It was likely 2-2.5' tall. The wings were dark brown. The torso was white or cream-colored with brown tail-tips. The neck was white with a black or dark brown cap on the head. The beak is thick like a hawk or eagle, yellow. There was also a red fleshy area at the base of the beak that was reminiscent of a buzzard. The legs were in shadow but best guess they were orange.
Anyone have any guess and/or have a link to a site with good bird pics?
