Sentinel.
I drove an hour yesterday for a morning of birding, only to find this fellow perched high in a sycamore over my parking spot when I returned home.
He’s not presenting all of the field marks I could hope for, but I think this is a youngling red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), whose eyes and breast feathers will keep darkening as he matures. Your ID suggestions and corrections are always welcome.
