It looks like a dark-morph red tail. Certainly a buteo, so either a dark morph red tail or possibly a Harlan's hawk, which is a subspecies of red tail. I always reserve the right to be wrong though. :coffeedrink:

Matt, we were about 100 yards away from the bird and shooting with a 300mm lens with a 2x extender on the lens.
Believe me, I'm a firm believer about keeping my distance from the wildlife

I hear that. I am working with the same lens. I just wish they weren't so damn expensive

I love shooting Osprey and they're one of the few birds who are so used to being right along the shore, its surprising how close you can get to them without them even caring or flying away
Osprey yelling at the camera bothering him while he's eating dinner - Baja Mexico, shot with a Canon 30D and a 28-300L lens at 300mm
Osprey shot from the kayak along the shoreline of Gulf of California in Baja - Shot with a Canon 30D and a 28-300L lens at 300mm
Osprey with a fresh catch - Notice the teeth on the Needle Fish! Canon 30D and the 28-300L at 285mm
