Should have also mentioned, red-tailed hawks are one of the most variable in coloration, from very very light to very very dark and everything in between. Some say, if in doubt it is probably a red-tail! Diane Hichwa Email: dhichwa@... Telephone: 707-785-1922 (Sea Ranch) 707-483-3130 (cell) More Tail Wagging!!! Less Barking!!

It's lightly marked on it's breast/belly. But you can still see a belly band. Red-tailed Hawks have very very variable plumage. Dave Barry Santa Rosa, CA.

Yesterday afternoon in coastal Elk I saw this bird. Quite large - I would say 18 to 24 inches tall. We have a large number of species here, but for some reason I don't recognize this one. In a White Fir some 40 feet up. Help with an id is appreciated.
