Folks,
I need some help here. Snapped these photos this afternoon but can't be positive on the ID. Thinking a Red-tailed Hawk or a Broad-winged Hawk. But I'm a novice and could be entirely wrong. Your help please.
Thanks!

It is a Red-tailed Hawk. You can see a band across the belly, which is a feature of this species.

Thanks, that was my first impression as well due to the band.

Hi John I agree that this looks like a Red-tailed Hawk
