This one is a ringer... it was shot at the Palo Alto Wetlands, obviously during mating season.

 

Juvenile Rufous Morph Red-Tailed Hawk
Newport Back Bay, Newport Beach, California

This is the juvenile of a relatively rare form of Red-Tailed Hawk.
I have previously only seen two others (one in the Grand Tetons and
one at Sepulveda Wildlife Refuge). Thanks go to Bill Clark who helped
with the identification of this interesting form of Red-Tailed Hawk.
