To me it looks like a Golden Eagle. The beek is too big and hooked to be a hawk? Now I could be wrong!
Great shots, by the way!

I'm going to agree with Laurie, The bird itself is far too big for a falcon, Most falcons are about the size of a Peregrine Falcon, some are bigger like a Brown Falcon. But none have a beak that big or that hooked. This bird is definitely an eagle of some sort, probably like Laurie says a golden. What ever it is you got some nice shots and a great series. In the first one he looks like he is looking for someone to argue with. Boy did he come to the right place, send him over to the Chit Chat section

It would help to know where the picture was taken, but I go for the Broad-winged Hawk. Why? Because of the single white band across the tail. Golden Eagles do not have this.
I am brand new to this group and will introduce myself later.

It sure is a good thing we have someone on this forum who knows what they are talking about. A golden eagle is huge compared to a hawk and is much darker in color. I knew that
Thanks MT Shooter

I agree. Defenatly not a falcon or Bald Eagle. Possibly a juvinile Golden.

Definitely a juvenile Harriss' Hawk.
