Ok, I’m not a birdwatcher but I think this is a hawk. I saw two of these today on the Yuki River. They were making quite a bit of noise and kept their eyes on me the whole time I was sitting in the river. As you can see by this picture this one was looking straight at me. Sorry about the quality of the photo but I stopped the boat pretty quickly to get this photo and it was bobbing around a bit. Also the bird was obviously moving. If anyone can tell me exactly what species this is I would appreciate it. I think this is a rough legged hawk.
Looks like hawk to me
