Walked outside this morning, and a large bird was sitting in a tree by my pond. When it took off, I could see that the tops of its wings had white speckles all over.

looks like some cross breeded owl-hawk.

I smell a new species.

Looks like a Red Tailed Hawk or some similar type of Hawk.

Looks to me like a red-shouldered hawk.

It's a BOP!

I would guess red-shouldered hawk, too.

Thanks for the quick replies.

Well, its a good sign to be seeing birds of prey. It means the local ecosystem is relatively healthy.

As Gary Larsen so eloquently stated: "Birds of prey know they're cool"

That bird reminds me of my ex, mate.

Your ex-mate?

Yeah.

I thought you said she was a vulcher?

Sure ... but she didn't HO. To the best of my knowledge. I think.

i'm pretty sure that it's an archaeopteryx.

Whatever it is; probably tastes just like chicken.

Aqua...what is that coming off the tower, an inverted vee, off center fed dipole, or slopers?

And what is your callsign?

It appears to be the near extinct branchsitterbyapond bird.
