A Morning Flyby


This morning I was having a mug of coffee and watching the news in my room. My room is small, one wall is a sliding glass door(about 6 foot wide). In the morning I also watch the wildlife, birds, lizards, mammals, etc. This morning was especially good, a Short-tailed hawk flew by. I guess it was looking for breakfast. This Short-tailed was a adult light morph.
There are two morphs, light and dark. Dark morphs comprise around 75% of the Florida population(Brain Wheeler-raptors of Eastern NA)
