Not the nest shots but probably the rarest bird I've ever taken a picture of. LIght was fading on us fast and got just these few off before he got out of site hope you enjoy.

First time for me to see one, can be easily mistaken as a RLH (from a distance). Nice captures!

What a fascintating looking Buteo Morgan!
That's a find and catch of a lifetime for many, and your images display nicely it's mixture of oddity and beauty all rolled into one. I really like the feather display shown in the 2nd and 4th images.

Thanks my dad who is not a photog saw it while driving my uncles and I around on a bird shooting trip. We were hauling down a highway heading home he pulled over and said " there's one we haven't seen yet" and this is what it was.
