Eagles, hawks, and falcons are three different groups of birds that share very similar features. In this picture, a hawk is perched on a backyard tree. It is suspected that this specific hawk is a broad-winged hawk. Broad-winged hawks are “rather small [and] compact … about the size of Red-shouldered Hawk, [but] smaller than Red-tailed Hawk. Adults are solid brown above, barred reddish-brown below with bold black-and-white tail bands. Immatures similar, but with blotchier markings below and thin, diffuse tail bands” (Broad-Winged Hawk – eBird).
