would you be willing to talk about the different red tailed hawk colour morphs/variations?
Yeah sure!
Quick preliminary ramble, I assume this was about me saying that one hawk was a "probable Krider's" cuz it was very lightly marked + the location, and Krider's isn't a morph itself, it's a subspecies. I don't do much with subspecies because they are a scam created big by taxonomy to sell more genetic analysis(kidding. real reason is that they are very finnicky, get reorg'd a lot, and just aren't my thing). To me, RTHA is RTHA is RTHA. However I CAN talk about RTHA morphs, because if there is one thing buteos love, its have variable plumage(except RSHA, who does not do this, because they love me)
First lets set up a quick baseline. This is the platonic ideal of a RTHA
Dark, prominent, neat patagial bars, a thin but prominent belly band, red tail, clear throat and breast, dark head, clear flanks
Now the morphs: There are three main "morphs", and nobody can agree on what they are. For simplicities sake, discounting that platonic ideal up there(which I think most would call intermediate), I'm gonna talk about light morph, dark morph, and rufous morph.
Here are some pretty extreme light morphs, like this is the far end of the variability scale
Light head, barely visible or almost completely absent bellyband, really really lightly marked patagials, "bleached" reddish tail bordering on white with thin to no bars and no terminal band
This ones a bit less extreme, but you can still see what I mean. Very lightly marked, but it still looks like a RTHA lmfao(i swear its the white head that does it)
Some extreme dark morphs
Fully brown chest, you can just barely, if you squint, deliniate a very very thick belly band from the slightly lighter throat, but yeah, basically the whole bird is dark brown. You can't really make out the patagials either.
Sometimes they'll have pretty prominent dark terminal bands on their tails, which are never quite that bright brick red, but that might be ssp dependent, and as we've established, ssp scare me.
Rufous morphs: AKA they dunked my man in some chilli
Pretty similar to dark morph(and I think is occasionally lumped in with it, barring again, ssp shit), but the bellyband is more visible in contrast to the more red chest/throat/flanks. These guys are mostly notable for being constantly misid'd as RSHA by randos on iNat for some reason
Bonus: Partially Leucistic
Why are you white
any taxonomists or orinthologists feel free to yell at me for my complete disregard of subspecies, but i will not listen

Is Prosperity Of Life A Scam?
I’m sure you’ve heard of Prosperity Of Life. Maybe you’re wondering if it’s one of those pyramid schemes or not. Or is Prosperity Of Life a scam or is it legit? Well, you came to the right place because I’m just going to shoot straight with you. I don’t want your money and I don’t want to waste your time with nonsense.
I simply want to give you my honest opinion of this program and let you decide for yourself, if it’s something that you would want to try.
There’s a lot to learn about this company so let’s get to it.
What Is Prosperity of Life?
Prosperity of Life (formerly known as Polaris Global) is a network marketing company that was founded by Shane and Rachel Krider. They sell personal development and wealth building events and if you want to make money with this program you have to recruit people to attend these events and ultimately get them to join the company.
Here’s the kicker though…. these events are very, very expensive so good luck finding people to join in. That makes it pretty similar to a pyramid scheme to me. That’s just my opinion. But let’s keep digging and find out more.
There’s red flags all over the place when I read up on this company. The main focus of these events is to get the attendees to join as a monthly member.
On top of these live events and conferences they also sell digital products that consist of personal development workshops and online training modules that actually just promote Prosperity of Life.
Products
One thing I do like about this program so far is that all the products are high-commision-products meaning you can make anywhere from $1,000 on up per sale! With that being said, these high-ticket products will be difficult to sell as not everyone has a couple grand lying around to join a make-money-online business that may or may not make you any money.
The products and services they offer are called “Master Of Destinies” and they are pricey!
Product #1 – M-1: Master of Destinies – Home Study: This is a home-study course where you can watch previously recorded seminars that will supposedly transform you into a perpetual individual. Seminars include: Foundation Live, Sovereignty Live, and Influence Live.
Price: $2,855
Potential Commission per Sale: $1,828
Product #2 – M-7: Includes 4 more recorded seminars from Sovereignty Live and Influence Live.
Cost: $5,740
Potential Commission per Sale: $3,672
Product #3 – M7 Fast Track: This is a combo pack that includes M-1 and M-7.
Cost: $7,820
Potential Commission per Sale: $5,000
Product #4 – M2 Sovereignty Live: This is a 5-day live event that covers all kinds of important topics like how to invest your money, asset allocation, tax minimization, and much more.
Cost: $9,940
Potential Commission per Sale: $5,000
Product #5 – M3 Influence Live: Learn about personal development and leadership strategies. Find out how to create a life that you desire that doesn’t go against your personal beliefs and values.
Cost: $16,190
Potential Commission per Sale: $8,000
So, as you can see it’s pretty expensive just to get started. The least expensive product will cost you $2,855 bucks! But it may be worth it if you can make some sales and get some of those high-ticket commissions.
Is Prosperity Of Life A Scam
No, I don’t think it’s necessarily a scam but I just couldn’t see myself spending all that money knowing that there’s a chance I may not even be able to break even.
Plus there are some Red Flags I should mention to you…
Shane Krider got into some trouble with his last network marketing program, Liberty League. He took more than $5 million in a pyramid scheme. I understand that people can learn from there mistakes and perhaps he has changed for the better.
The bottom line here is that Prosperity Of Life is a MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) Scheme meaning you will have to work your tale off recruiting people and selling all these expensive products. It’s very similar to a Pyramid Scheme.

Krider’s Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis krideri)
St Mark’s NWR, Wakulla county, Florida
This is a super unusual find in Florida, this subspecies (or morph depending on who you ask) is known from the northern great plains! Not something I’d expect to see in western Florida! I was stunned when I saw this guy passing over my car!!

The Polymorphic Buteo
I’m always amazed at color variation in red tailed hawks. One of the best ways to see this first hand is at a falconry meet. You can also learn a tremendous amount of information on behavioural differences and hunting techniques.

Helicopter Parents to Know Whether You’re a Overprotective Parent
For 40 weeks, then you kept them safe, fed and warm. And then? Life on the exterior. And it. Much. Harder. It is not that you want to be a control freak, but how else are you likely to make sure they are getting enough oxygen? We’re not judging, but you may have to pace your self. Continue reading for red flags that indicate it is time to slow your roll ( and then laugh a bit, since life is way too brief.) .

1. You are not sure why, although your friends have chased you Black Hawk. Do not crash and burn. Instead, have a look at these approaches to come in for a landing once you are turning out of control in enemy territory.
2. You’ve been proven to disinfect a swing’s chains using a hands sanitized wipe. And guess what? There’s no doubt in your game. You likely offered to perform the slide, monkey bars (not that your child’s ever been on these death traps before) and teeter-totter to your friends.
3. Your kid’s first away from you will be in college. Do not worry. The risk of SIDS is less when they are legally adult, also you’re able to pay the roommate you hand chosen to make sure Junior has his blankie before lights out.

4. Forget iPhones. Your kids? They’ll be rocking a phone. When they are teens. What? Telephones aren’t for fun. They are for crises–which can occur at any time, thank you very much.
5. You send them with mittens clipped to their backpacks. Wait. Perhaps mittens in middle school would be the genuine flag. Take a look at these other approaches you may be ruining your kiddo’s youth by accident.
6. You’ve perfected your child’s handwriting so that you can “help” with assignments. Totally streamlines the day, this. No paper and erasers that are inflexible tear apart.

7. You nodded off at a work meeting because you were up late completing your … we imply, their … science fair project. And you also emailed the teacher enraged when you … we mean they … have been given a C. For real. How many jobs had their downloadable program? Sheesh.
8. You’ve paid to every bus driver at the faculty for a background check. And we are pretty sure that you’ve applied for the task yourself, simply so that you are able to help on every field trip, rather than taking turns with the other parents.
9. You stay up late to catch the volunteer sign-up connection the moment it goes “live” at midnight during the first week of college. The plumb volunteer gigs consistently go so fast. Wait ’till morning and all you’ll have to select from are the Columbus Day celebration and the paper products volunteer.
Photo: Real Buried Treasure through Flickr
10. You’ve been proven to email the team coach a while or two. Before the very first practice. Because she may not understand the very best place in the city to possess the decorations lettered. Or find twelve pairs of fitting rainbow shoelaces. Or exactly what the pollen count is projected to be the Spring.
11. You’ve never stopped for a park without earth mulch. Why take unnecessary risks?
12. Engaging in an off playdate entails a series of questionnaires (verbal and written), an observation period, and at least three letters of reference by mutual neighbours before you decide on a date. And after that you do donuts at the cove farther down the road until the playdate is finished. You didn’t train at Quantico, you mention? Huh. How strange.
13. You donate a nanny camera into the preschool so that you may be “maintained up to date” on what is happening. It is truly a gift that benefits everyone. Although you are the only person who has got the access code to examine the live feed. And can manipulate the camera using a remote so that you have eyes in the ground at all times.
Photo: Spezz through Flickr
14. Your back has dated 10 dog years because the little pumpkin started tottering about on two feet because let’s face it. You never stand up. But what if he falls? It might hurt so bad!
15. Deciding on a preschool came down to a thing. Which had the figures to demonstrate that they actually promote Ivy League placement? Sure all of them say that they do. But actually–who has the cold, hard numbers? We believed so.

How do we all feel about questioning posts that are way too long because I originally wrote them on Dreamwidth and was just having so much fun constructing them like some kind of prose
I'm starting to think that sometimes, maybe the best answers are the simplest ones, that you came up with right away before then overcomplicating things with forced "cool" or "rare" answers. Answers that make the most sense because they're so obvious as to be staring you right in the face, and not answers that you had to scrounge up from circumstantial subconscious fragments. Red-tailed hawk was the second theriotype I ever confirmed, and the first bird one. I've always been a buteo, and I knew that, but I went with Harris's hawk instead for so long. I guess it was because I knew red-tail was the "basic" bird kintype and thought people would think not that I was faking, but that I didn't actually do any research or have expertise on birds and went with red-tail because it was the only one I knew, which is almost a worse libel to me. Or because I felt like red-tail was too obvious, too simple, too easy, maybe too influenced by media and what's always been more popular? Early on in my blog I had even written a whole post, which blew up (well, for therian Tumblr standards), about the importance of looking into other predatory birds before one confirms red-tailed hawk, so the idea of then confirming it myself felt almost fraudulent, like I was a con artist.
Ever since accepting I'm also a red-tail, while I thought I was both, I just can't see myself as a Harris's hawk. It doesn't come naturally, it feels forced. I had this same problem summer of last year after I had been trying to explain why I felt like a hawk and decided on Harris's hawk, but "demoted" it to just a familiar cameo shift because it just didn't feel like I was being genuine. It felt like a mask. I had thought the problem was that I was too many different species, I had too many theriotypes, some of them were just wanting to be something, and I needed to Occam's razor down what was real and what was wishful thinking, and Harris's hawk was the first to go. But since then, I have confirmed additional theriotypes -- sea slater, mosasaur, as examples -- and harmoniously, with mental equilibrium. And it wasn't the first time I confirmed Harris's hawk only to feel like it was just off. The problem was the species, and this past August when I really truly accepted being a polytherian instead of trying to reduce reuse recycle with my theriotypes constantly and force myself down to three or four like I was shaving down a wood sculpture, which meant I accepted being a red-tail too (after so long too! Almost seven years), I was suddenly so much more focused on being a red-tail than I ever was on being a Harris's hawk. I just didn't feel like Harris's was important. It was like having a textbook that I loved reading, but then one day I got a shiny newer, updated version, and pretending like the old version was still my favorite had no point, because it was outdated and wasn't accurate.
Anyway, with all that being said, I think I have narrowed down my red-tailed species, which frankly feels more significant to me than being a Harris's hawk at all did. I see myself most in a paler color morph, but not completely white like a leucistic. I am drawn to both central northern American habitats like those in Alberta or Wyoming, and south western American desert habitats like places in Arizona and New Mexico. One of the reasons for clinging to Harris's hawk was that I felt so strongly about being a desert hawk, but felt like I must be a red-tail that lived in greener areas. I did not consider the possibility of a migratory subspecies that winters in the Sonoran.
May I introduce the Krider's hawk, Buteo jamaicensis kriderii, my specific subspecies. While much lighter in color than most red-tails, I am actually a particularly dark-colored individual of this subspecies. I see myself so gracefully in these photos.
I feel so at peace with this. I'm not a Harris's hawk, and more importantly, what makes this not like the last few times I de-confirmed Harris's hawk, I know what I am. I can send this piece of my personal history off to sea, finally satisfied with its closure.
