Which hawk? Red-tailed or Swainson's? Probably a Red-tailed, but I would appreciate a confirmation. Thanks for your help.

Re: Which hawk?
All that black on the trailing edge of the wing has me leaning Swainson's. I've never seen one so wait for another opinion.

Re: Which hawk?
The black was what made me question it in the first place. I'm hoping it is a Swainson's since it would be a lifer.
