As we were driving to go to town we came across this bird on a telephone poll. Now we live out in the country so we have plenty of times that we come across animals on our drives to town. This was a great one and it was great that I was able to get these pictures.
I was disappointed that it took off as soon as I started to take pictures. I kept taking pictures and hoped that I had taken some good ones. When I got home I quickly plugged my camera into my computer to download the pictures.
These are the pictures that I got. If you click on them you can see them closer and you can see a little more detail. Can you guess what this is? Come on take a guess?
Update:Thanks to all of you that joined in and guessed. This is a Red-tailed hawk that we saw. Great guesses, everyone. The next Picture Quiz will be posted either late Friday night or early Saturday morning. We are going on a little over night trip so you will not hear from me till then. Stay tuned for the next picture quiz.

It's a bird, no...it's a plane, no...it's superman! Just kidding, it's way past my bedtime...we will have to look this one up in the field guide ;o)
ok...we think it may be a redtailed hawk...???
Red tailed or red shouldered hawk?
My guess is it's a Swainson's Hawk. They are common around here from April to September. In my book it says when in flight they hold their wings in a shallow V. Looks kinda like that in one of those pics. ;-)
Waiting for Friday now! hehe
Carolyn @};-
i say a red tailed hawk. This is my guess. Since you won't tell me yet, I will have to wait.
