Date Location Note
Roosevelt WetlandsFlying low near the entrance
Roosevelt WetlandsSwooped right and front of me. White tail patch and face disk
Myakka River SPSeveral around the park. It was a very windy day and they were using the wind to hover over fields to catch their pray. Sort of like a Harrier jet, I wonder if that is how the jet got its name.
Honeymoon Island SP@ Honeymoon Island SP, near the end of the trails. Owl-like facial disk is indicative. Very large hawk.
