Buteo jamaicensis
The Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) is a bird of prey, one of three species colloquially known in the United States as the "chickenhawk," though it rarely preys on standard sized chickens.
It breeds throughout most of North America, from western Alaska and northern Canada to as far south as Panama and the West Indies, and is one of the most common buteos in North America.

Thank you very much Sachin! I don't exactly have the right lens to take these kinds of shots successfully but I couldn't miss this opportunity. I love these hawks they are so graceful.
Well captured,
