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.
