Buteo jamaicensis
This Red-tailed Hawk was spotted flying over the new beaver lodge at Huntley Meadows Park. This was my first spotting of one in quite a while. The hawk was also being tailed/chased by a Red-winged Blackbird.

Great series, Louisa...but you've got a beautiful Red-Tailed Hawk! I'd love you to add this spotting to the mission Raptors of North America: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8627...
I'd seen something similar that I'd forgotten til you posted this one, I just put up one of a blue jay doing something similar nearby. Its funny how it doesn't seem to bother the hawks, not that they can stop it anyway.
Thank you! It was great fun watching/photographing this bold little blackbird chase the very unfazed hawk!
