Mark F Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) Hi all, This photo was shot today in the SF Bay area. This bird was being harassed by a White-tailed Kite, but didn't seem to pay it much mind. I think it's a raptor but can't make out what exactly. Sorry the photo is not the best. Thanks for your help! PS: This bird was bigger than the White-tailed Kite. Is it a Red-tailed Hawk perhaps? Edited January 12, 2020 by Mark F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Friedman Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Yes, a Red-tailed Hawk, with the dark patagial marks on the leading edges of the wings. (You can only see the one on the nearer wing.) 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
