Hawk Awaiting

He was sitting on one of our alder trees and gave me a bit of an eagle eye when he heard my shutter.
Anyone know what kind of hawk? From the book, he looks most like a red tailed hawk but he was hunting and perching in a kind of unusual place for a red tail.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

Does look like you might have gotten his attention. Not sure what this one is. Sort of looks like the Red Tailed, but couldn't say for sure. Great shot.

Beautiful shot of this lovely hawk. Unfortunately, that's all I know about it.

I like how you've captured him with the yellow background setting him off nicely. No idea what kind it is, but a wonderful image.

My bird app says it is a red-tailed hawk. Nice shot.
