This isn't my bird but one of several a friend owns. He does shows all around the country with them to teach others how cool these creatures are.

So don't keep us in suspense, Jon. What kind of bird is it? A red-tailed hawk?

He usually has two types of birds for the shows. Falcon's and... I can't remember. I'll have to ask him this weekend. The falcon's are smaller and really really fast birds. Like crazy fast. These are the larger slower birds.

Thanks.

My son thinks it's a Red-Tailed Hawk.

Nice shot! I like how the wing tip feathers are full extended.


Could that be a Harris hawk?

Aha, I think you've got it. So can we get an official confirmation?
