    Mine is ~30 years old. With an electronic caller they are even more effective on crows.

    Took the dog out today-crazy light today. Windy too so most of the birds were down. I think I need some camo to sneak up on them (and no doggie).

    They're pretty common where I was (maybe a dozen or so in a 100 yards or so). A better word would be "elusive". They tend to want to remain hidden most of the time.

    Pretty cool birds.

    Nah that's a Red-tail. I had that a few weeks ago where I saw a huuuge red-tail and thought it was perhaps a small eagle, but nope! Dark patagium in that second picture is your dead giveaway.

    Thanks man. I've only seen a couple red-tails and they had really distinguished red tails and were smaller, and this guy was huuuge! So with red-tails, the red tail is not a key ID because they can be darker?

    Yeah if you notice on your first photo you can kinda see a rufous tinge on the tail, but they can be much lighter, too.
