The surrounding photos show a variety of hawk and owl species. Note the striping on most hawk feathers. Among the majority of hawk wings the leading edge has a wider band with a skinny band on the trailing edge of the feather. The tip is darker for the first 2 cm on the secodary wing feathers while the pointers are dark for the entire thin part of the shaft. Keep in mind this is a generalization of most Buteo hawks and each has their own specific characteristics. Another point to note is the underside rakus has the dark bars across the rakus, matching the striping of the webbing. Through studying various pictures one can determine the average number of stripes per feather and more details of the striping on different species of hawks. One should also take note of the species of hawks that are endemic to the area of the tribe one is patterning their outfit after. For example, one should not have Harris hawk feathers on a traditional, read Old Style, Lakota outfit because Harris hawks are found in the southwest.
