"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?" Federico Calboli

ID Query
Tom McIntyre sent this photo his friend Keith Benoist snapped in Mississippi last weekend. Suggestions include Swainson's and broadwing which I doubt-- slighter and migratory-- and Harlan's which is possible though ours tend to be more "speckly". I call darkish (for the east) redtail. What say you?

Looks more like a Redtail than anything else to me.
Yep, I'm with Steve and John, redtail. Been studying up on these buggers lately too.
Yes, juvenile Red-tailed Hawk.
Redtail, without any doubt in my mind. Doesn't even strike me as all that unusual...
looks like your typical passage redtail to me
I agree. Definitely a juvenile red-tail.
I think Redtail, too.
Easier to identify than this one - an Albino Redtail.
