Not an eagle because...
by: Bliss Sonia

You can tell that this is not an eagle because the only eagles likely to be found in your area, Georgia, would be Bald Eagles. Both adult and sub-adult Bald Eagles both have solid brown feathers across the breast and belly, unlike the Red-tail Hawk. There are dark-phases of RTHAs (red-tailed hawks), but you can use relative size and other field characteristics to distinguish between the two.

Thanks for the photo!
