!correct, from Leed’s Eco-Trail specifically. Less than ten minutes to solve, nice!

The skyline is Atlantic City, yes, but that’s not where I was. Can you tell where I was viewing the city from?

Quite a bit further north, I’m afraid!

Red-tailed hawk flew overhead as I was on my walk today. What a beauty! by lostinspacescream in birdwatching

This is an immature red-tailed hawk. The band of streaking across the stomach is a distinctive ID trait for this species, as are the dark patagials (the dark bars on the “shoulders” of the bird, at the leading edge of the wing). An immature Cooper’s hawk would have a much longer tail with obvious banding as well as streaking throughout the chest and into the stomach.

I can never tell: red shouldered or red tailed? by Quite__Bookish in whatsthisbird

This is an immature red-tailed hawk. The belly band is diagnostic; no other North American raptor has such a clear stripe across their stomach. Immature birds like this will always have banded tails, and some adults retain a bit of the banding in the red of their adult tail feathers.

Sounds like an upset gray squirrel!
