There are black headed vultures. They hunt and kill their prey, while the red-headed turkey vulture usually eats things that are already dead. Both of them have a 5' wingspan. However, the black ones are not common out west.
Probably is a red-tail hawk.
Our neighbor's 9 pound Yorkie was attacked by a red-shoulder hawk and severely injured. He is lucky to be alive.
Be careful!
