[Tweeters] Unknown Hawk

[Peggy Mundy]

Tail not long enough for an accipiter (e.g. sharp-shinned hawk).  Looks like a buteo, I vote immature red-tailed hawk. Happy to be corrected.

   It's hard to tell size from the photo. Do you think it was Sharp-shinned hawk size or more like Red-tail Hawk size? Did you happen to see it fly? A description of its underside and front would be helpful.

 Hello,  My wife and I went for a ride around Fir Island and got a picture of this Hawk.  https://flic.kr/p/2n82Wbg   We were not able to decide what it was. Please help.   Thanks.
