Wildlife Spotting

And welcome to Project Noah, LizaMorffizChevres, I hope you like the site as much we do; there are many features you can explore: I invite you to go to http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you will find the purpose and “rules” of Project Noah. There is a blog http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we post articles from spotters with special insight into different organisms. There are also the chats for help with identification, and to comment on your own and others’ spottings. Look at the global and local missions to put your spottings into:http://www.projectnoah.org/missions Enjoy yourself here, see you around!

Maybe an immature light morph, they lack the red thighs that this species normally has. But it has the eye stripe and on a red-tail the primaries would be spread out differently. Also, red-tails have a mostly dark head where this bird has a mostly light head.

It might be a light-morph Red-tailed hawk because of the belly band, but wait for more knowledgable folks to weigh in.
