Red-tailed Hawk - Buteo jamaicensis

Order: FALCONIFORMES - Kites, Hawks, Eagles, and Allies
Family: ACCIPITRIDAE - Hawks

Year-round residents. These are the ones we see most often throughout the area. The juveniles do not necessarily have the characteristic red tail. I often look for the black band on the chest.
