    I think this is either a Cherry Faced Meadowhawk or a Ruby Meadowhawk, but apparently often a photo is not enough to tell the difference. The face looks more red than brown… so maybe more likely Cherry Faced? Posted 11 years ago, modified 11 years ago

      If you're positive, feel free to identify it as such. It can always be corrected if somebody disagrees. Posted 11 years ago
