One of the easiest birds to identify has to be the seemingly ubiquitous red-tailed hawk. They almost always are kind enough to flash their tail in the viewer's direction, allowing for an easy ID.
We don't see a lot of them around our place - they are like the turkey vulture in that they are occasional visitors.
This guy's sound is as distinctive as his looks. I never tire of hearing their scream when they are hunting the area. The funny thing is that it is probably the most abused sound there is. I can't count all the times I have heard it used in a movie or on the radio as an "eagle" call!
