Late this morning, I found an immature RED-SHOULDERED HAWK at Hell’s Gate
State Park in Lewiston. I first found it perched on the river near the
amphitheater. It flew south along the river, and I was twice able to
relocated it. On the third round, it flew high, circled a couple of times,
and then dove out of sight somewhere on the Washington side of the river.
I’m aware of no reports of Red-shouldered Hawk from north of Valley County
in Idaho, and it appears this species may also be previously unreported
from Asotin County, Washington (into which it flew). Photos and additional
details are on eBird: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S50900117.

Hope it sticks around a while for other birders to enjoy.

Good Birding and Happy Holidays,
