Thought this guy was an owl at first, so I ran outside to snap a shot. Turns out to be a hawk with some very unusual colouration that's throwing me for a loop.

Jan 30, 2011 18:29 | #6 Thanks everyone! This fella's been hanging out for a couple of weeks now, but all I've ever seen was it's white body flying past my house. That's kind of why I kept thinking it was an owl hanging out around the place.

Tail banding is wrong for Red-tailed and the light/dark bars on the secondaries is a good mark for Red-shouldered. Get some more pics of it if you can. Pretty bird and great capture. Regards,
