KCharmatz Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I spotted this hawk while walking a pup through Piedmont Park in Atlanta, GA today. Although I wasn't able to see its chest, I believe it's a Red Shoulder hawk. There was definitely a second hawk somewhere above on a tree branch, as I could hear it but I couldn't locate it. Also, I believe there's a rat in the hawk's talons, maybe. Not a 100% certain of that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCTX Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I agree with your guess. It looks like a red-shouldered hawk to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bird Nuts Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Looks like a juvenile Red-tailed to me. Belly band, no distinct barring on the secondaries, greenish-gray cere. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
