    Hi,
    A friend of mine got this shot (from N. California) and we can't quite nail what it is. Could this be a juvenile red-tail hawk??

    Thanks,
    Mark

    I think it's an adult red-tailed.

    I think you are right with a juvenile. National Geographic's guide shows the mottled breast, white shoulder 'patch', and white-tipped tail.

    Correct, juvenile Red-tailed Hawk. Juvenile - yellow eyes, banded tail......Adult - dark eyes, red tail.
