I think that's a Harris hawk. That back light is cool.

tehag, You may be right. I took this in Jan. and just played with it to get a better look. It was really dark. I thought I remembered a white collar but it doesn't show and the head seems a bit more like a falcon than the thicker head of the Cara Cara.

Thanks Bob. That's a good source for birds and I put it in my favorites.
Here's info on the Harris hawk; http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Harriss_Hawk/id So now I'm sure my "Cara Cara" is actually the Harris Hawk.
