Some Kind of Hawk!

I saw this hawk high up in a tree, and I mean high! :) I got some shots of it perched there. Then it decided to take off and fortunately I was able to grab a couple shots of the bird. I think it could well be a Red-tailed Hawk, but tough for me to ID in the photos. Do you agree? I probably should have used an even higher shutter speed.

Excellent capture of this hawk, caught in a great pose. It does have a red tail, but I of course wouldn't know what kind of bird it is ;-).
