Urban Hawk

I woke up to find this visitor perched on my downtown Toronto balcony the other day. Can anyone identify what type of hawk this is?

    It appears to be a Red Tail Hawk. They are common to this area, but still a very cool pic!

    Great shot and so cool to see on your balcony.

    I've seen more and more shots of birds of prey in the Torontoist Group pool over the last few weeks. I wonder if the cold weather is forcing them to become more visible, or if people are just being more observant.

    Looks like a red tail to me, great shot, hard to come by, they generally fly off the moment you point a camera at them.
