I cannot identify this hawk, smaller with a shortish tail who was around for some days perched in the Red Elm above where the little birds were getting seed that I put out. The little birds had no fear of this hawk.When it flew I could see the back of the tail and there was no red so I guess this is not a Red Tail unless it is a first year? I imagine the hawk may be someone I should be able to identify but alas...need the expertise of IA Bird. Pictures not great..trying to be stealthy and they were shot from inside.
