Buteo jamaicensis
Large brown raptor with with patches, pale yellow feet, and grey & black tail.

It was very neat, bad kind of sad to see this bird quickly devour this poor and helpless squirrel. It's sharp beak and talons made it easy for this Red-tailed hawk to get a nice meal.
This bird is much too stocky to be an Accipiter. Also, the speckled belly band, tail with skinny bands, and white scapular 'v' on the back all make this a red-tailed hawk.
