Hi Tuma,
That's a juvenile Broad-winged hawk. They have barred tails just like a juvenile
Red-tail, but are smaller and have smaller proportions, especially those tiny
little feet. CWRC got one in as a fledgling this year and he looked just like
this bird.
It can be hard to identify birds up close when you're used to seeing them from
far away! Colours and patterns stand out a lot more, and shape just doesn't look
the same.

Subject: [NatureNS] Our Visit with Ralph the Pelican
There was a hawk that Allison was not sure but thought it was potentially a
Red-tailed but the birders in the group were not sure. After consulting with
our birding books, it was declared to be an unknown hawk with the tail of a
red-tail but the head and body size of a broad-winged. Pictures have been taken
and posted to my web gallery:

I would appreciate any help with id'ing this bird. This year a bit of a busy
year for birds of prey and Allison expects the winter to remain busy with Owls.
As we thanked Allison for the tour, she also thanked the members of the NS Bird
Society for all of the work we do and in working together with rehabs such as
Hope and with the Cobequid Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in Truro.
