The White-tailed Hawk has white or lightly barred underparts and wing linings. The tail in the adult is white with a single dark subterminal band. Juveniles are heavily streaked and the tail is faintly barred The flight feathers are darker than the wing linigs
At rest the wing tips project beyond the tail. In adults the rusty shoulder patches contrast with the dark gray of the upperparts. They shoulder patch is much fainter on juveniles
Look for it in west Harris County, Waller County, and in and around the Attwater NWR
