Buteo lineatus
Medium sized hawk. White bars on tail. Yellow legs and reddish chest.
Likes open areas near forest.
These hawks have been regular visitors to our garden for years. Especially in the winter when the ground is bare. They often fly to the ground to catch small prey. I usually can't see what they catch but I did observe one eating an earthworm. Things can get pretty loud and exciting in our garden during mating season.
