I've been seeing this big white-chested hawk for a few weeks now. These photos do not do justice to the bird; I had a little shake when I was trying to take these pictures. I am also not sure what kind of hawk it is as my field guide doesn't show anything similar. When I look on the internet I find a bird that is supposed to be only in Mexico. Surely this bird isn't from Mexico?
At any rate, this is a very big bird, as you can see from the picture of it with the cow.
I believe that is a female Red-Tailed Hawk. WE have quite a few of them at the house.
