Red-shouldered Hawk



A young Red-shouldered Hawk perched in a willow tree across the river from my apartment. Photos taken using the AT-65Q scope working as a 420mm telephoto lens. Thanks to my neighbor, David Pritchard, for identifying this bird for me.

And two quick snaps of a young Red-tailed Hawk in the same tree:  Pictures here
Note the many thin stripes in the tail compared to the bird above.
