Broad-winged Hawk (Buteo platypterus), Mount Elden Spring area, Flagstaff, AZ, Coconino County

Casual in spring in Arizona, but increasingly reported in recent years in Arizona and throughout the western US.

Small Buteo with rufous barring below, broad black and white bands on the tail, fairly pointed wings and a light under wing with dark border.
