I just saw this one hanging around the neighborhood recently but I have no idea what it is. Thanks in advance.

Looks like a red-shouldered hawk to me, but i could be wrong.
Very nice shot of the hawk. How close was it?

Thanks, it was about 30-40 yards away. I looked up some images red shouldered hawks and I think you're right. When viewed from behind, this bird and the red shouldered hawk both share some very distinctive alternating brown/white "checkering".

That's a drop dead gorgeous picture of what I believe to be a red-shouldered hawk.

Wow, thanks for the compliments! I hope I get another chance to shoot it but it hasn't been around the last couple of weeks.

Beautiful shot but I am getting a sore neck trying to look at it sideways...I have to ask....why the rotation on the frame?

It is a great capture, the angle does bother me a little, but it is a beautiful shot.

See what happens when you do a partial PP and then go back to finish it a couple of weeks later? I must have rotated it and forgot. I've rotated the image back in the version below:

To be honest, this image now tells a completely different story. Rather than being the flying hawk that is stretching for a landing, it's now the standing hawk that's trying not to lose it's balance in the heavy wind.:lol:

I prefer the it the other way...what a difference 90 degrees make!
