Beautiful shot. I’ve been told it’s a Red-shouldered, though.

  Thanks on the shot !! I do however believe this is a Red-Tail juvenile; enclosing a Red-Shouldered photo I took. Notice the rust breast and while striping. Thanks again for reading my BLOG. Sincerely, Steve

    Hey there! this is definitely a Juvenile Red Shouldered hawk. You can tell by the tail band pattern and the skinny legs. Been working with raptors for 4 years now. Great Pic!! Beautiful coloration

    Fair enough. I appreciate your input on this. Thanks, Steve
