I agree one hundred percent, Moostar.
Joining this forum has opened a huge world for me.
I've gained so much enjoyment, wonder and awe of the birds, and pretty much the same for the people of the forum!
Moonstar:
Yes I do believe what I saw was a Red-tailed hawk. It looked just like the ones in your photos Dennis.

Beautiful photos, dennis! :D Easy to see how these hawks could be mistaken for falcons, way up high in the sky, for those who don't know their raptors very well.

Isn't it wonderful and aren't we lucky that we have the opportunity to see all this flying wildlife!!!! ;D

I see quite a few red-tailed hawks perched on hydro poles on my daily drive to work in Brandon. :)
