I get so confused with hawk identification anytime the lines blur. Would appreciate any of your thoughts on what this individual may be.
We have red tails in the neighborhood, and this one looks a bit different with the brown streaks neck to feet in front. Our other red tails have white chests and the brown streaks across the belly. This one is really big, red tail size at least, which leads me to think that's what it may be.
A few days this week at midday he landed on top of one of our bird houses for 10-15 minutes, scanning. It's about 12-15 feet off the ground, right next to a stream and close to a wood line. Semi-open area with grass yards and larger tree cover. Normal suburban street. Ample birds and small mammals for food sources.
