Hi Dea,



Much as I would love to help you solve your mystery I don't think that is the same bird. The Whatcom area Redtail has a very regular alternation of black and white in the flight feathers and the underparts?also appear different.



I had?a couple of replies offline noting that what is likely the same bird I saw has been in the area a couple of years, although I'm not sure if it is seen there all year-round or not.



Striking bird though; I can see why you're so taken with the one in your area...





good birding,
