With a wingspan of up to 56 inches, the ferruginous hawk is North America’s largest buteo, a type of medium to large, wide-ranging raptor.

Alas, the unlucky bird proved to be a Common buzzard Buteo buteo, not an osprey at all.

The broad-winged hawk is a bird of prey on the genus Buteo, which exhibit broad wings and tails and are capable of soaring flight.

The broad-wing hawk Buteo platypterus when full grown is about the size of a crow and has a wingspan is about 36-inches wide.

They are relatively abundant throughout the Pocono Mountains and are the smallest among our three Buteo species; the red-shouldered and red-tailed hawk.
