Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis)
If you see a large raptor circling about overhead, chances are it's Red-Tailed Hawk. Most are chocolate brown on top to an off-white below, with flecks of brown streaks of the chest. Tail is a rusty orange. Meals usually consist of small mammals (squirrels, mice, rabbits) and occasionally other smaller birds. Red-Tailed Hawk couples will stay together until one dies.
