Hardy -- Accept

Describes diagnostic fieldmarks - pale crescent on primaries and tail bands - sufficient to establish species identification (but probably not subspecies). Habitat and behavior consistent with RSHA, timing OK.

Carlisle -- Accept

Would have liked to have seen description of flapping speed (i.e. accipiter-like 'flap-flap-glide' pattern) but other details sufficient & convincing.
