Bev,

This appears to be an adult "Fuertes'" Red-tailed Hawk. This subspecies winters 
in Arizona. It is much plainer breasted than the "Western" Red-tailed Hawks 
that are resident in Oregon.

Hello birders, 
Sorry to bring an out-of-state sighting here but I know we have some hawk 
experts who may be able to help me id a hawk I saw today south of Tucson, AZ.  
By the way it's HOT (Temperature) down here.
