Description
The Red-shouldered Hawk, photo taken on July 27, 2021.
From "All About Birds" website:
https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-shouldered_Hawk/overview
"Whether wheeling over a swamp forest or whistling plaintively from a riverine park, a Red-shouldered Hawk is typically a sign of tall woods and water. It’s one of our most distinctively marked common hawks, with barred reddish-peachy underparts and a strongly banded tail. In flight, translucent crescents near the wingtips help to identify the species at a distance. These forest hawks hunt prey ranging from mice to frogs and snakes."
