Thanks, he's a red-shouldered hawk. It's funny, my brother used to run around all the time trying to get photos of it, but I always seem to see it. I think because I'm out there gardening so much it just views me as another one of the animals. It gets so much closer than it used to and doesn't freak out as much when I look at it. It used to fly away if I looked directly at it. As opposed to today when I had the flash going off and it just sat there. After I took the picture it flew up to the top of its favorite streetlight, and then swooped down and landed in the neighbor's yard.

Here's a pic I got of it a while back so you can see the front coloring.
