We’ve posted a new subspecies account for the enigmatic B. j. alascensis, led by Brian Sullivan! – https://redtailedhawkproject.org/buteo-jamaicensis-alascensis/
We’re currently working on subspecies overviews for all described Red-tailed Hawk subspecies. These accounts will feature the identification, taxonomic history, distribution, status, and our assessment of the current status of our knowledge on the taxon.
Our idea is to treat these accounts in a version type format, where we conduct an annual review of each account and update accordingly, especially for those populations that we are currently focused on in our research (see this example of information we might need to incorporate for abieticola – https://redtailedhawkproject.org/2024/09/12/published-in-the-journal-of-biogeography-a-revision-to-the-distribution-of-plumage-polymorphism-in-the-red-tailed-hawk-buteo-jamaicensis/).
Stay tuned for further detailed overviews of each described Red-tailed Hawk subspecies!
