This morning it landed in a Bradford Pear tree on my property and hung around for about 10 minutes as I took several pictures.

Beekeeper Goldmember More info | Jan 19, 2015 20:14 | #9 Really nice pictures! Broad-winged hawks should all be in South America by now (except for some in very southern Florida) making it likely that this bird is an immature Red-shouldered hawk. Red-shouldered and Broad-winged hawk juveniles can look a lot alike, and often be difficult to tell apart. Since it's winter I'd bet it's a Red-shouldered. Zach--C&C is welcome on my photos

I appreciate it Mike!! jsecordphoto wrote in post #17390576 Yeah these are sharp as hell! What lens were you using for these? I was actually surprised they came out this sharp, even using LR5. I am using a 70-300 f4-5.6 non-L lens and typically struggle with clarity/sharpness when out at 300mm. Saving up now for a better lens. Thanks for the comment! butterfly2937 wrote in post #17390612 Beautiful series and 2nd one is just outstanding! I love the light and detail. Thank you Carol! Mark

I am not an expert by any means. And looking at a few pictures on the internet, makes me believe that you could indeed be correct. Thanks again for your insight! Mark
