Nope... not a red shouldered hawk. The feathers were no where near that black and white. More grayish brown. And his tail feathers were long!! His head was that reddish brown color, and it went pretty far down his back from what I could see.

One of the women I know who works at Hawk Mountain up here suggested a Cooper's hawk, or in that family (Goshawk maybe). They are more common in this area.

I asked my mom if I could borrow her old "good" camera with the good lenses to see if I could get some other picutres. DOn't know if he'll be back here again, but it would be nice to see him again!
