I have not had much luck getting pictures of this type of hawk, let alone finding them despite knowing they are out there. They are in fact relatively common in urban and suburban areas of North America.
Today I noticed a dark spot in a tree and stopped to investigate finding this young one hanging out. Cruddy gray skies today didn’t make for a nice backdrop but I was happy to just find one and get a pic of it.
