Ooooohhh he's pretty!!! Great pics.

Thanks.

Good one,i saw a red tail today bout 70% grown...........

They are pretty, get some pictures.

Red-Shouldered hawks are fantastic birds of prey. They nest close to our house.

Yes they are, we have a few different ones that hang around here pretty often. I will try and keep the camera handy more often.

There was a hawk in CT, used to hang out near my parents bird feeder and eat fat little birds.

Great shots!
Not a Cooper's. I'm stumped. Red-Shouldered?

Following links from Google Images, I think you are correct. Cooper's have red eyes.

Birds of prey are always cool. We had several always hunting ducks at the pond out our front window. Nothing like watching one snatch a juvenile duck. I have also been really close to my fair share of Bald Eagles as well. Never had my camera handy to take a pic.

I should have known, my grandmother was birdwatcher and a member of the http://www.audubon.org/ in Scotland born in 1899 she would have got it.

Looked it up, I think it is a Red Shoulder.

Without double checking, I think it is a red-shouldered hawk, too. They are a little stumpy and round compared to the coopers, which are a little larger and proportionately longer. Nice pics.

Sweet pics! Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a red-shouldered.

We have a sharp-shined or two that prey on the birds at our feeders in winter. Hawks are awesome. Especially the INFI-loving ones.

Could be a juvenile cooper's hawk, has a lot of white on the wings though.

This is what an incredibly surprised adult Cooper's Hawk looks like.

I saw she was on one of my chickens next to the house.

So I picked her up and took a few trophy photos and let her go.

I left most of the carcass out there, but she killed my Black Cochin male the next day. We haven't reached an understanding yet.

That's somewhere between super crazy and super brave. Trying to figure out which.

Cool shot.
