A few more birds from last summer

Here's a few more from last summer.....just wanted to share. I've got a lot of catching up to do. The Red-winged Black Bird in #1 was defending his territory but made it an interesting shot. I think #2 is a Cooper's Hawk but not certain. Can anyone ID #2?

Another great set Sunfish, I think your hawk is a Red-shouldered hawk.

Nice shots, that red winged black bird is pretty brave to go after that hawk.

Great shots Lamar, love the colors and detail. Looks like an immature Cooper's Hawk, with the green/yellow eyes, and the vertical striping on the chest feathers, and long tail, as well as the over all coloring

Beautiful shots, I love birds of prey but can't get shots like these hopefully someday I will get some this good.

These are fantastic shots Lamar. I believe your hawk is a juvenile Cooper's Hawk. Note the distinctive yellow cere on this one that the Red-shouldered doesn't have.

Thanks howlynn! I appreciate it. I always have trouble identifying hawks.
