You are correct! It is a Red Tail Hawk. We also saw a Golden Eagle over the Lost Goldmine Trail (http://protrails.com/trails/view/630/) and sent the pic into the raptor program monitoring Goldens in Phoenix. Turns out they not much is known about their Arizona population so any sighting should be reported and they also called out the Red Tailed Hawk just this morning via email.

The eagle was stunning. Here's one of the Golden Eagle pics - again this was just last week:

So in short, Red Tailed Hawk it is!

Thanks so much.
