We’ve had a beautiful bird of prey hunting around our property lately and I’m damned if I can identify him.

He’s a good size, pale feathered with black wing tips, and has been hard as hell to photograph because he flies very quickly.

I thought it might be an Osprey but there’s not enough brown.

I thought it was a juvenile red tail hawk, but it’s still too light in color.

These are the best shots I’ve managed so far, taken across the road on our neighbors farm.

He skims the ground quite low.

I’m sure it’s good mousing over there.

Anyone have an idea who he is?
