Buteo jamaicensis
Sitting on a telephone pole hunting these fields below.
Grass fields with sagebrush and junipers outside of that.
Caught the pic while driving by but there were lots of raptor out today most I missed. Several Rough-legged Hawks but couldn't get the pictures.

My initial impression was Turkey Vulture. Not sure if that pale patch is from the electricity pole or the bird.
Hi Dane. Please crop your picture to focus in the bird. Landscapes are not allowed in Noah. If you don't crop your pictures they are going to be removed.
For more information please read FAQ
It looks like a pigeon but I can't be sure. If you can it would be a good idea to get a closer spotting of it.
