Not a redtail, if you look below the limb you can see the LONG tail feathers that are not red. Can you tell he saw me?? lol. Thanks for looking..

i'd still guess it's a redtail...the tail does look long, but the underside of the tail isn't going to be red...yeah i think it's safe to say he spotted you :)

I wish I could see more, but it is either a immature red shouldered or broad winged hawk

Thanks, guys. I see redtails all over the place down here and they don't have a long tail like that.
But everytime I think I know what bird I'm talking about, I don't. :) Unfortunately I only got off 2 quick shots and he flew, so I don't have any other markings to ID him with.
