A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Hi DerrickLK...Wonderful of you to create a mission for Idaho wildlife...but please either use your own photo for the mission you've created or get Jeff's permission to use his...you are not allowed to randomly use an image in PN. Thanks!
Awesome shot! I used your spotting for the cover of the mission I just started, Wildlife of Idaho. Please join!!!

Also, I'd love you to add this to the mission Raptors of North America: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8627...
Welcome to the community!!
Jeff, it definitely looks like a Red-Tail...they have different variations in their plumage, but they commonly have a distinct belly band and the obvious red tail (yours definitely has both!) Beautiful shot!!
Thanks Steve - we have numerous hawks in this area so I'm never certain.
It looks like a Redtail Hawk to me but I'll let the more advanced birders on here confirm that. I'm a newbie to birds. Nice shot!
