Critter Alert: Was That a Red-Tailed Hawk?

Birders may need to help confirm the identity of this bird, but I think it’s a juvenile red-tailed hawk.
This little guy was perched on the fence protecting our neighborhood Sled Hill, which is being re-seeded and restored for what we hope will be a snowy sled-friendly winter.

He let me get pretty close, but flew to the next fence level when I crossed the line.

Here he is with Future Farm Boy, who is proving he can climb the biggest rock all by himself.
He got up…though I had to help him get down.
