It is a great Hawk shot ! - but it is NOT a Red Shouldered ...... definitely a juvie - most likely Coopers ....IMO.

Thank you. I'm also leaning toward Coopers.

Thank you. I was surprised it didn't fly away when I drove past it.

I don't believe that it is a Red Shoulder hawk. This definitely is. She come to my feeding station every year for the last 8 years.

Don’t lean too far toward Coopers ‘cause this IS a juvie red-shouldered…classic buteo white patches on nape, and most wing coverts and stubby dark chevrons on chest& belly- Coopers has longer, more lanceolate markings on chest.

Yesterday morning as I was leaving the conservation area I spotted this hawk on the ground. Not that many feet up from me was a building so I stopped the car where the building was between the hawk and myself giving me cover. When I walked around the building I was surprised that it was still there. My bird app identifies it as a red-shouldered hawk. I included an orb weaver from yesterday that was hanging from what was left of its web.
Nice shots! Could be a juvenile hawk. Makes ID even harder! Thanx for sharing!

I got a picture yesterday of what is definitely a Red-Shouldered hawk.
