Backyard Hawk
This raptor is becoming a daily visitor, much to my delight, although I do wish there was enough water for him in the natural surroundings to not have to come so close to people... could be unhealthy for him.
I do believe he is a juvenile, and possibly a common Black Hawk. I have looked in two different bird books that I have... seems those tail stripes are too bright for the Red-Tailed Hawk. However, I am no bird expert, and it is possible I am way off on this one. He is curious about us, and a bit too brave or maybe inexperienced... but oh so beautiful to watch.
