christel - I believe you are correct looking at yours. Very nice capture by the way. Where was it taken?

looks to be a juvenile Osprey ( Fish Hawk) we have many pairs here on south shore LI. Amazing creatures.

Looks like a Red Shoulder hawk. Got out the field guide and nearly a perfect match. Nice pictures.

I did a booboo, I tink I responded to the wrong shot, this bird is not an Osprey, the following shot is.
This looks like a hawk whos exact taxonomy escapes me. The real birders suggest red shouldered hawk and I yield to their superior knowledge.

Karen - thank you for the update clarification.
Bruce - not a problem, I do the same when things are getting posted faster then I can look, write/type, etc. Yet am glad you viewed and enjoyed.
