Buteo lineatus
* Updated!!! Brown and tawny with darker wings, white flecks across wings. Got more shots now! Very similar to Merlin Falcon
Forest trees
I was walking in the yard with my friend and he pointed out the elusive falcon I had been trying to spot for a week. He perched in a dogwood and tried to remove the spanish moss that had caught in his talons, as I got close enough for a good shot. It's an incredible bird.
This is a great shot of a Red-shouldered Hawk. Note that the wings are spotted and the breast is orange colored with the darker, more solid color at the top of the breast.
