For those interested in the birds of Michigan (Paul, Stan, Bill & maybe
others) I found a great little book - Birds of Michigan by Stan Tekiela.
It's devided by colors with a page on each including relevant info.

I used to be a big fan of Peterson's but I find Sibley's better since it
has more varieties of each species. Book with photographs are almost
impossible to use; drawings/paintings are much better for identification.

Very nice capture Jack. I am envious.
You don't need a bird book, you need a hawk book. You'll then find many
more detailed images of all (?) of the various North American hawks and
related beasties. And, if like me, you'll still not be able to tell them
apart. But at least you'll have a Hawk Book!
(I am on the road, in a couple of days will give you a specific reference
to such a book if you like.)

I didn't "invest" in a bird book, but I have one I was given. Although
fairly thick with many, may nice slick images, finding the needed angle
for identification is still problematic.
Since posting I've been advised, in rather positive terms, that it's a
young Red Tail.
Thanks for commenting, Ken!

Nice catch.
It's possibly a Broad-winged Hawk (Buteo platypterus).
Looks like its time for you to invest in a bird book.

..Hawk. Bird book no help. Anyone? Was a bit closer to
this one. Maybe
about 30 ft.(?) Close to ideal light angle.
Nough hawks for now!
