Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

That’s what Merlin Bird ID told me too, so I think you’re right! Just thought it was pretty awesome to see in the middle of this massive city! I could even get quite close.
It is pretty cool to find it mid-city. I'd expect to see a Coopers Hawk or Peregrine Falcon, but not a Red-Tail. I lived in the Hudson Valley for a long time and they always avoided the cities in favor of the forests.
