Red-tailed Hawk. You don't actually need colour for this one, the pattern of dark belly/pale breast/dark head is sufficient.

Well it was people that didn't really know any better, but i wanted to be sure since i am doing a presentation on it. How embarrassing would it be to do a presentation on it, and it turns out to be wrong.But wow thanks a lot i really appreciate it. The class is called biology for naturalists, and i really enjoy it. The area i live in is on the St. Lawrence River but specifically in a huge wetland area in Akwesasne, an Indian reservation that straddles the U.S. Canadian border, so i am sure to have many more pictures of better quality to show soon. Again thanks.

Hi ya, Mohawk82. It certainly does look like a red-tail. Lucky you! They are gorgeous creatures.

The class sounds like fun. Hope to get up to Akwesasne soon to find those Mohawk ancestors.

All the best.
