We’ve posted a new subspecies account for B. j. fuertesi, led by Brian Sullivan! – https://redtailedhawkproject.org/buteo-jamaicensis-fuertesi/
We continue to work on subspecies overviews for all described Red-tailed Hawk subspecies, so keep checking back for information on your favorite subspecies including the identification, taxonomic history, distribution, status, and our assessment of the current knowledge on the taxon.
Since we plan to treat these accounts in a version type format where we conduct an annual review and update each account accordingly, we hope that these will represent the most up to date and correct information for understanding diversity within the Red-tailed Hawk (see this example of the type of information that might justify a revision – 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/).
