What large bird of prey puts its wings below its body for a full second to
glide? I looked away after it casually brought its wings back up, so I
don't know what happened next.
Swainson's Hawks do and apparently Ospreys do. Anything else?
According to Sibley Birds, no. But I just want to make sure before I report
a Swainson's Hawk in Seattle.
This Swainson's matches my visual description:

But I need a second confirmation to make absolutely sure.
