Sunset and Hawk (14 February 2018)

Red-tailed Hawk at sunset

I spied this Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) outside the Saginaw Chippewa Academy last evening.  It lined up perfectly with the sunset and allowed me to take several photos.

A closer view of the hawk

Looking back at older posts, I photographed a Red-tailed Hawk outside of the Academy almost exactly three years ago.  I wonder of it could be the same bird?
