Beautiful hawk! I like #4...Judging by the yellow eye and the tail stripes I think it might be a juvenile Coopers Hawk..

Thanks. Maybe a Coopers Hawk. I was with four Audubon birders that said it was a Red-shouldered Hawk. Cant wait to tell them They're a little on the know-it all kind

It does look allot like a Cooper's Hawk and fits the description, Cooper's Hawk, Identification, All About Birds - Cornell Lab of Ornithology

It all get's tricky when there are juveniles involved

I would say your both right, a Coopers Hawk

How about this one. I took this one awhile later after the first one left.

They are gorgeous and I thought Cooper's Hawk at first glance. Glad I was on board with the others.

Those are excellent shots. There's a flickr group with experts that can ID that raptor for you. I had to get them to ID a merlin and a moorhen for me a few years ago

Thanks. Coopers hawk seems to the consensus

Very Nice set.

Nice set. I'm not sure if it's my monitor but #4 (K) is a little underexposed. Beautiful bird. I can't find to see them in my area.

Thanks. Exposure might be off, but looks fine on my computer.
