Houzz wouldn't post the pic in my original:

edit function isn't working. Only other option seems to be Red Tailed Hawk, but that doesn't seem quite right?

One more pic:

He is magnificent!

Isn't he! She said he let her get pretty close for the pics and didn't seem spooked at all. Thank you whowo. I'll pass that along.

That is a great picture......in front of the oak leaves too. Another guess might have been a rough-legged hawk, but I think that clear white chest probably means it's the red-tailed hawk. What a beauty!

Thanks for the confirmation catherinet! She was conflicted about the
i.d. because there was no sign of a red tail when he flew, but now I've
learned that immature often don't have the red tail.
