Birding since the late 1980s...mid 40s birder. Being out in nature and hearing the morning chorus, seeing how birds interact with their surroundings and go about their lives provides me a greater understanding of the natural environment we live in. With bird photography, every photo is different, which makes seeing the same and different species exciting.

What I believe to be an adult calurus version of the Red-tailed Hawk. It took me awhile to identify using the updated National Geographic, as the older versions don't have a good depiction. We also don't get this type out east. If wrong, please correct the id. Seen at Victoria Airport, Canada.

This species has a slightly shorter bill than the Tropical Kingbird. Nevertheless, this was identified by voice, thankfully :)
