Title: From Carol F

Just got this from a friend of mine. Any ideas?
This baby hawk has been living high in the tree in my sisters back yard. He must have gotten out of the nest during the storm earlier tonight. He cant seem to get flight to get back into the nest. My mom and sister are keeping an eye on him.

Thank you so much, Donna!  I tried for three days to get this photo up, after having told my friend that my friends would get an ID "in a heartbeat" <G>

I do believe it's a juvie red tail hawk.  They will often perch low down early on after fledging.  As long as there's open space it should eventually make it's way back into the trees (assuming it's well, which it does appear to be).

And it looks pretty wet-probably needs to dry out a bit before flying.
