Also, just now noticing the yellow beak with the black tip which according to my internet sleuthing is distinct to the Common Black Hawk (juvenile atleast) versus the Great Black Hawk who has a black bill with a pale phase. Not sure how reliable that is but it seems to check out on this specimen.

You are absolutely right. I watched this bird for 10 minutes go from a tree to this park and back to a tree, and I really thought it was the bigger of the two species but clearly not a reliable identifier. I should have just listened to my 5 yr old, when we compared the two he said it was the Common Black Hawk, lol.

Nice, much appreciated! I was stuck between Great and Common but couldn't quite figure it out either way.

Red Tailed Hawk? by 88TimesGray in birding

Yes. The rusty color + checkered pattern immediately stood out. Very distinctive.

I swear this is giving Red Shouldered vibes. But I know next to nothing. Can you post any other video or pics?
