Buteo lineatus
Medium-sized to large hawk. Wings and tail striped black and white. Underparts barred reddish. Pale crescent near wingtips in flight.
Red-shouldered Hawk favors woodlands near water. It is perhaps the most vocal American hawk. http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/red-s...
This beautiful hawk was spotted on electric wires in the city. He appeared to be tight-rope walking as he side stepped his way further down the line.

Thank you Emma - they are very pretty to be predators. I love the yellow spot at the top of their beaks
@ Luc,you should add your lovely sparrow on ice to this mission.

These are beautiful birds and the buff color on their chest gives them a warm and gentle look! Very contradictory to how a predator should look!
Thank you dxmgs1- took me a few times before I got this one :)
Thank you KarenL
