Raptor Identification Needed
The only shot I got of this guy. He was in a field in central California, a few miles south of Davis.

There aren't a lot of field marks there, Bob. But based on the two-toned bill, the brown streak behind the eye and the mostly white chest, I'll guess Ferruginous Hawk, juvenile bird.
