Not sure if this was one, two or three different ones as they were shot at various locations throughout the day.

Great set they all look to be the same type of hawk or the same hawk looks like juvenile red shouldered to me

 

[bulldurham]

Pretty sure they're all Coopers.

Strike that, it is a juvenile Red-tail

Looks like juvenile red shouldered to me anyone else who knows how to id hawks better then me know what it is?

 

[bulldurham]

The light primary panel rules out red-tailed. Plus, young red-tails have light irises, usually a white throat and upper chest (the streaks are limited to a wide belly band) and have a "patagial" mark, that is a dark band on the leading edge of the wing between the shoulder and the wrist, as seen from below.
