Bird 3

I saw a hawk called a red-tailed hawk. It flew very high up above the trees and dove very fast. It has a red tail; dark upperparts; light underparts; brown 'belt'; light breast. Immature: extremely variable; lacks the red tail; generally darker. In flight: fan-shaped tail; dark leading edge on the underwing; light wing linings; dark belt. 'Harlan's Hawk': very dark; white mottling on back, breast and underwings; gray tail with dark streaks; variable. It's about 20inches long with a huge wingspans and weights probely around 25 pounds
