[QUOTE="hark, post: 764647, member: 13196"] I hope you don't mind that I edited your image. I'm leaning towards a Red-Shouldered Hawk, lucien. Here is yours edited - I increased the whites slider in Camera RAW, took it into On1 Resize 10 to enlarge it, then took it back to Photoshop to crop.

The reason I'm leaning towards Red-Shouldered is yours looks like there is a little reddish color in the upper part of the chest plus this one has the fan-shaped tail feathers while flying. Even the body shape looks similar. A Cooper's Hawk is a little more slender and tubular (longer) in proportion to its width. Just a little food for thought....;) [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]360737._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
