Carlisle--Accept

not the most detailed description but size, flight behavior (accipiter-like flap & glide), and pale crescents all included and I know that Kyle is very familiar with this species (& raptors in general)

Diagnostic pale wing crescents noted.

Chuck Trost--Accept

Shape, windows in wing, and flight pattern all seem to fit this species.

chuck trost--Accept

The size, shape, long tail, quick wing beats, wing crescents, and date convince me.

Darren Clark--Reject, specific identification not established

The written description isn't detailed enough to rule out similar species.

Darren Clark--Accept

After re-reading the report and looking at additional resources I'm changing my vote to accept.
