Nice shot. Not a bird I have seen a lot on my visits to your part of the world.

This bird is very rare in the US, with the exception of Florida. Many of them here in Central Florida, but their numbers have been declining due to the limited food supply, which is mostly snails. They are a very noisy bird and make a lot of noise sounding similar to the Red Shouldered Hawk.
