Buteo lineatus
I saw this beautiful hawk at a small lake located about 5 miles north of Winston-Salem, NC. I go there frequently to take pictures of the waterfowl (mainly mallards and Canadian geese). He/she was sitting perched in a tree overlooking the lake.
Nice close shot - could you please add in the habitat section where you spotted it? Thanks!
