For some reason, I always have a problem identifying the difference between Red-Tailed and Red-Shouldered Hawks. Any help identifying this one would be greatly appreciated. At the same time, though, please educate me and tell me what the distinguishing factor is that I need to look for.  Hello, my name is Victor.

BillBoehme Enjoy being spanked  More info | I agree with all of the above ID's. Also, the legs and feet are much more massive on the red tailed hawk. Atmospheric haze in images? Click for Tutorial to Reduce Atmospheric Haze with Photoshop.
