Looks like a red-shouldered hawk to me.

Hi Bob, An adult Red-shouldered Hawk. See the brown eye, brown head without the black cap like Coop or Sharpie. The white barring on the flightfeathers. The dark brown tail with thin white barring. You can also see the rufous of the upper lesser coverts forming the red shouders. The wind flushing the feathers of the nape probably make you think of the head of a Cooper Hawk. Luc

Wow, what great pics. You might post these on the general birdwatching forum so more people would enjoy them -- especially since he's eating a rodent and not a songbird!

Oh, I love them! I have a little guy (I think...LOL), that hangs in my yard. I was just watching him through my binocs this morning...that's one patient little hawk! He's been in the flowering cherry for about an hour now. âº I got a shot of'm but it's a bit too far away to really see...plus he's perched with his back towards me. I'm assuming it's a Red-Shoulder...his back is dark grey with several white spots.

I'm a juvvie, I ate too much, and I want my mommy !!! Seriously though, that is a fabulous pic. One of the best. I am a bit confused in that the bulge looks too low for the crop. Could it be the foot pulled up real high ?? Anyway, I live on the west coast, so it is always a treat to see the eastern variants of one of our most common hawks- send us more !!!

Over the years, there are many times up to 3 pairs of hawks nesting in the woods behind the house. Red tailed, red shouldered, Coopers, and possibly others. They are sometimes so hard to tell apart from male/female, mature/immature. Several years ago I had the gray phase red tail. Yes, an abundance of squirrels and chipmunks !
