Texbirders,
Thanks to those responding. So far there is no consensus on this
hawk. Maybe this bird can't be ID'd by these photos? Could it be a
Rough-Legged Hawk?

Funny, no votes for Red-tailed.
When I first saw this bird approaching, I thought wow, a weird Red-tailed.
I don't think its an eagle, I would have known that! I decided to try to
get photos rather than study the bird with binoculars. Maybe that was a
mistake. The sighting was not long as this bird was making time heading NE.
Sure would be nice to pin down an ID. It could be a new yard/local patch
bird.

Someone out there should be able to ID this bird.
