Pale Chanting Goshawk.

A pale chanting goshawk juvenile, it looks so different from the adult that I needed help in identifying it.

Juvenile.



Adult.

Another adult.

I’ve only ever seen them in the greyer colouring. Do the male and female have the same colour plumage?

Wow. The adult looks like a totally different bird.

Yes, they do.

Yes, I thought that it was an entirely different species. I posted the picture on a facebook bird page and got some expert help.

Awesome photos! We have one that visits the area occasionally. You know when it’s around because the chickens go and hide and are extremely frightened.
