While shooting abaseball tournament, I spotted what I thought to be a large Red-Tailed Hawk flying through the trees at the car park. I followed him to a large nest with three chicks(?) in it. The brush is fairly heavy so finding a good vantage was tough especially with the high winds.
Can anyone help with an ID? The underside of tail and wings was predominantly white and the belly was white and dark brown variegated. These particular birds where about the size of a full grown chicken. The backs kind of looked like a Red-Shouldered Hawk, but these young birds are quite a bit larger than the other Red-Shouldereds I have seen in the area. I figure either Red-Tail or Sharp-Shinned.
Thanks in advance.
