Help!


Okay internet, tell me what kind of bird this is! He was very patient with my fumbling with the camera but he did eventually get bored and fly away. The photo was taken in front of the water department.

    I'm so not an expert, but seeing as no else took a stab at it.. Noting the talons, it looks like some kind of a hawk.

    It looks like it might be a red shouldered hawk to me. Try going here: www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-shouldered_Hawk/id

    Thank you for visiting.
    No, it is a fairly large bird. I think the red shouldered hawk suggestion was correct.
