Location Las Vegas, NV
September
Not sure if it’s an adult or juvenile
We have seen it twice now once at our local park and now he is hanging in the back yard. Unusual as we have been here 10 years and never see a bird like this he seems to fly well so don’t think he is injured.
Any info so we can look up info on it would be great. Beautiful bird.

Hi Moneill and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators.

I moved your post to the ID forum and subscribed you to the thread so you can find it easily. The guys in there are better placed to help you put a name to this bird.

Meantime, I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.

Young Cooper’s Hawk judging by the thick legs.
