Hi all:
=20
On Sunday I'm pretty sure I saw one of the red-shouldered hawks by Wentzell=
's Lake.  While watching it another hawk of the same size and shape came in=
=2C which seemed to show aggressive behaviour.  The only difference was som=
ething I've seen in a hawk before of which I still have no identification a=
nd no explanation as to what I saw.  I had previously posted remarks on it =
without positive results for an answer.  David Walmark was with me and also=
 observed the oddity.  Half way down both wings in the same spot on the win=
g was a white stripe which ran straight down the center of the wing pretty =
well from the top to the bottom. It also was  a hawk of red-shouldered=2C r=
ed-tailed hawk size and shape.  I'm thinking likely the mate of the red-sho=
uldered hawk=2C but any other suggestions.  I cannot explain the aggressive=
 behaviour of the other hawk diving at the initial one. =20
