K, I’m back to my first guess …. Red Tailed Hawk, probably juvenile.

Gee! Thanx for the new view, but it actually made it harder!

I wanna say peregrine falcon, but the face doesn’t appear to have the little mask … plus you said this is a hawk.

K, I give……. d’ya know or are you guessing too? LOL

I’m thinking it’s a juvenile rough legged hawk. The feathers seem to go down to the feet, it has yellow eyes (as juv RL hawks can), has a white chest with brown markings and has the same tail banding. Just a guess

That didn't help me at all, but I'll check my book in hopes I can figure it out. .-= Alison Kerr´s last post ..10 Christmas Surprises You Won’t Find On My List =-.
