Portions of the lengthy and detailed description do suggest the hawk may have been correctly identified, but other parts of the documentation seem inconsistent with Red-shouldered. The sketched tail pattern would also fit a 153 Fall 1997 dark-morph Rough-legged Hawk, and the overall darkness of the described plumage would also be more consistent with a Rough-legged than a Red-shouldered. The description also mentions “the wing tips reached very close to the tip of the tail”, yet another feature favoring Rough-legged over Red-shouldered.	Not Accepted
