Following are four hawks that are enough out of the 'normal' colour range to cause me doubt due to the vast range of colour for a number of hawk species. I think these are all red-tailed hawks but I would appreciate advice if I have any wrong.

1. Observed in mid-nebraska in December. I considered a light juvenile Broad-winged hawk but came back to a very light Red-tailed.




2.Another very light coloured hawk also observed in mid-Nebraska in December. This one I think is more obviously a Red-tailed Hawk.




3. Observed over central Nebraska in May. I think this one is a Krider's Red-tailed.



4. Final a local bird observed near Boundary Bay in February. Is this a Harlan's Red-tailed?





Thanks for the help/

These are all RTHAs. The last one doesn't look like a Harland's to me but a juvenile regular RTHA.

Cheers,

Thanks. Your evaluation corresponds to my own but there were some nagging doubts.
