Thanks ChristyHolland, ClementDufour and RevereTaylor. I thought the markings looked like a red-tailed hawk but I wasn't sure about the way he was holding his tail. I usually see them spread out.
Good call! I guess I jumped the gun when I didn't see a red tail, haha. Lovely bird!
This is definitely a juvenile Red-Tailed Hawk - he has a very distinct belly band. Great spotting! Nice shots!
