Raptor ID, New Jersey (1 Viewer)

[SJGinNJ]

Hello,

Yesterday while looking out my back window, I noticed a large raptor landing in a pine tree top in my neighbors yard about three houses down. It was being dive bombed by 3-4 crows that I regularly see in that treetop. I took some photos from some distance (300ft-400ft) away, sorry for the poor quality. I never got a good look at the bird in flight. Just wondering if anyone might be able to ID this one. Location is central New Jersey.

Thanks,
Steve

Looks like a Red-tailed Hawk.

Red-tail for me, too.
