I have a few of these floating around raiding bird feeders. I have had the worst time trying to ID them. I hear Red-tails. I see what looks to be Red-shouldereds. I don't think either of those, though, prefer birds as meals. Cooper's and Sharp-shinned seem to be the most likely feeder raiders, but I didn't think this was one...unless he's a juvie. Outside chance of a Broad-winged, but they've migrated out by now.

My money, right now, is on the juvenile Cooper's. He looked bigger than pictures of Sharp-shinneds I've seen.

Help please.

Straightening...lol. Every time I straighten the horizon, I hang the picture crooked.

I am pretty sure that is a Red-shouldered, having said that I am wrong more than right on Hawks, if Tom would take a look, that would help, he will. I hope I am right this time!

My guess is Red-shouldered as well.

Here is a link to my gallery for Red-shouldered Hawks and I was fortunate to photograph a juvenile and yours sure looks like the one I photographed last year.

I'm satisfied with RSHawk. Thanks, guys.

Now, if I could get better at Purple and House Finches and if I could see what I thought was a Pine Siskin visit my feeder again...
