Topic: Light-Hawk Wings

    Note: these results are not from the primary (high quality) database.

Don't be afraid of the heat! The dark brown hood, pure white underparts, light wing-linings, somewhat darker primaries and secondaries, and proportionately small tail with many inconspicuous light and dark bars, plus the fairly broad but noticeably tapered wings were all apparent (plus the call itself, which is distinctive). The highlight of the day was an adult, light-phase SHORT-TAILED HAWK, first slowly calling "kle, kle, kle, kle" then seen in flight low over the Owl Trail. If this Short-tailed Hawk stays around, as some have done in the 1990s, it can probably seen as well (or better) by just birding in one of the wetland areas (like Pintail or Cattail Lakes, maybe even Willow, or along the river). www.naturallycurious.com /Santa%20Ana%20birding.htm

Gordon's 2nd Lepidoptera Page (Moths) Moths can produce sound in a number of ways, the most common method is by stridulation of the wings against the hind legs, specially sclerotised parts of the limbs scrape against each other setting up vibrations which cause the sound, i.e. Another suggestion is that the intensity of the light source causes the moths to perceive the centre of the light as a darkness with their peripheral vision, and that moths seek this centre in order to escape, what would look to them like a diffuse halo of light. Many people are fascinated by the obvious attraction of moths to candles and other forms of lighting, and the fact of this attraction has been used for many years to assist in the study of the distribution of and movement of moths. www.earthlife.net /insects/lepidop2.html   (4044 words)

Zone-tailed Hawk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The bird's plumage closely resembles that of the Turkey Vulture, and Zone-tailed Hawks soar with their wings held above the horizontal, rocking from side to side, like Turkey Vultures and often in company with them. Bird guides caution against confusing it with the much more common Turkey Vulture, but at a reasonable distance one can see the smaller size, the typical hawk shape of the wings and head, and the pale stripe on the tail. Adult plumage is mostly blackish except that the flight feathers are barred with lighter gray (appearing solid gray from a distance) and the tail has three or four bands or "zones", white from below and light gray from above, of which the one second from the tip is particularly broad and conspicuous. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Zone-tailed_Hawk   (353 words)

Bird Quiz Answer 3 ~ American Birding Association Yes, but the bands on a juvenile Swainson's Hawk are formed by black bands on a very dark tail; in poor light, they don't show up. While we can't tell much about the wings, we have a fairly good view of the tail, which appears relatively short and dark, thereby allowing us to eliminate the accipiters (Sharp-shinned Hawk, Cooper's Hawk, and Northern Goshawk), all of which have long tails with broad bands at all ages. To be certain, this appearance is accentuated by the relatively short wings of this species, but the tail on a Gray Hawk would always appear longer than our bird. www.americanbirding.org /photoquiz/quizans3.html   (1381 words)

13. Walking by Henry David Thoreau. Matthews, Brander, ed. 1914. The Oxford Book of American Essays there is but a solitary marsh-hawk to have his wings gilded by it, or only a musquash looks out from his cabin, and there is some little black-veined brook in the midst of the marsh, just beginning to meander, winding slowly round a decaying stump. We walked in so pure and bright a light, gilding the withered grass and leaves, so softly and serenely bright, I thought I had never bathed in such a golden flood, without a ripple or a murmur to it. The sun sets on some retired meadow, where no house is visible, with all the glory and splendor that it lavishes on cities, and perchance, as it has never set before,—where www.bartleby.com /109/13.html   (185 words)

NOVEMBER-2000 This can't be a Harris's Hawk with those multiple zones of white in the undertail, and those long slabs of wings, quintessentially buteo shaped, are much too long and narrow for a Black Hawk. In poor light notice the white areas of the Harris's proportionately longer tail are at the base and at the end, giving the appearance of a white tail with a very broad dark band--quite different appearing than the Black Hawk's white median band on all dark tail. Black Hawks are loners, and they are usually closely associated in breeding season with riparian areas. www.maricopaaudubon.org /quiz/quiz9_ans.htm   (988 words)

BIRDCHAT archives -- January 1999, week 2 (#51) A surreal relationship developed between us, this young hawk frozen in the air, just feet from me. The hawk hung in the air without a beat of its wings, moving only its head side to side to show that it was alive. It was only because I knew the hunting behavior of the Short-tailed and the hawk in question was not behaving as expected that we continued to question our id. It was hunting off a telephone pole, with only occasional flights into the wooded area along the road. Fortunately, for us, we have taken to checking out the patagial marking on all light colored hawks to quickly eliminate the Red-tailed Hawk. listserv.arizona.edu /cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind9901b&L=birdchat&F=&S=&P=3575   (346 words)
