Another thing to consider might be the dark morph Rough-legged Hawk that I'=
ve seen a few times around the Sunday Pt Rd which is a few kms south of tha=
t church. I believe it has also been seen at the northern end of Yarmouth H=
arbour. A dark morph bird has a similar underwing pattern as a Turkey Vultu=
re and can show a dihedral wing position. I guess it all depends on just ho=
w long-tailed your bird was.=20

Here is a video of a Rough-legged showing it flapping and then gliding as i=
t moves (it is also shown hovering at times).

Subject: [NatureNS] Turkey Vulture/ Goshawk?

Hans=2C you=92ve reminded me of a sighting of a large raptor cruising over =
south end Yarmouth about 11 A.M. on Friday morning. I was beside Temple Ba=
ptist church and looking west=2C when a large guy soaring dihedrally passed=
apparently over the old Anglican cemetery=2C maybe about 1000 feet to the =
southeast. My initial thought was =93turkey vulture=2C=94 this being Yarmo=
uth. Then I noticed the tail was too long and the flying included some fla=
p-flap glide=2C particularly as it turned to the north of me and flew east.=
The distance and the light kept me from seeing any colour=2C but if I got=
the distance right=2C only a goshawk could be that size and shape. Down =
here=2C that is more exciting than turkey vultures! From: naturens-owner@ch=

Laura spotted a Turkey Vulture overhead Portuguese Cove=2C HRM=2C this afte=
rnoon. It was close enough for her to see the two toned wings and red head.
