Think this is a Red-Shouldered Hawk but I have trouble identifying sometimes. Only let me take a few photos but I'm fairly happy with how they turned out.

lhoy Senior Member  More info | Oct 15, 2012 21:18 | #6 Assuming you took this photo where you live, there are no Red-Shouldered Hawks in your area. Furthermore, that is a Merlin anyways, MUCH better find!!

Oct 15, 2012 21:28 | #7 Yup took it about ten minutes away from where I live. I never actually checked to see where the red shouldered hawk is normally found. It was a pretty small hawk as well. 7D MKII | 11-16 | 24-105 | 50 1.4 | 85 1.8 | 135 | 70-200 2.8 IS II | 100-400 | 500 f4 IS | 100 2.8 Macro | 580ex II | FB

Oct 16, 2012 06:26 | #14 Thanks! Yes I could probably find that spot again. There's just so many grid roads where I live it's easy to get them mixed up. 7D MKII | 11-16 | 24-105 | 50 1.4 | 85 1.8 | 135 | 70-200 2.8 IS II | 100-400 | 500 f4 IS | 100 2.8 Macro | 580ex II | FB
