At first I thought this was a Red-shouldered Hawk,
Buteo lineatus. But then, looking at its tail, I thought: Cooper's Hawk,
Accipiter cooperii. So to make a long story short, I don't know which Hawk this is! I am hoping someone can help me with identification.
I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

Sure looks like a Red-shouldered Hawk to me.
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about hawks, although I love seeing them as long as they stay away from my bird feeders.
ReplyDeleteI would say 99% sure it's a Cooper's ... the tail seem longer & brighter than a re-shouldered. It may be the backlighting tho.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing this at IRBB this week.

DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI know David above is excellent on the id's. I would just be taking a guess. Great sighting and photo. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your day. Have a great new week! PS, thank you for the comment.
Those birds are hard to identify for sure. Either is a treat!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
