Good grief! Great pictures but PETA will shut down the site...:lol:

And in one pair of images, we go from PETA to AETA - Animals eating Tasty Animals. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it probably tastes like chicken.

Nice captures, CDS.

The tail marking don't match a Red-tailed or Red-shouldered. Eye colour changes with age, and so do all the other markings and head. I don't have access to my books right now, but I might lean towards Cooper's Hawk too.

I also felt the tail was simply too long relative to the body for a red tail.. I don't think I have any pictures showing the tail any better,. but if the eye color can change with age (and I have heard of this in other birds) than I'd say we have a Cooper's hawk.... which I have never seen in Rhode Island before :)

Well, congratulations on your first sighting then! :)

I do think Cooper's - because the shins look too thick for a Sharp-shinned Hawk and the edge of the tail is curved (not square).

Yes,. Lazy.. the Sharp Shinned is totally out of the Question. It was close enough,. and I'm around full grown Red tails enough to gauge size pretty well. This bird had very near to a 3 foot wingspan.. maybe more.

It looked "a little small" for a Red tail,. (which often have 4' wngspans...) but not out of the question.. With Sharp shins only getting to about a 2' wingspan,. there's just no way.

I can't decide which I like the best...the second one I guess. Beautiful shots, both of them.

I just love that pidgeon's foot sticking up above all that mess!
