I can't I'D. this hawk, I think it may be an immature red shouldered or coopers. Anyone know?

Not the sharpest but I liked the drama in this one with the palm leaves blowing back.

By the length of the tail, not a Coopers Hawk. I'm pretty positive its a Red-shouldered

Thanks, appreciate it. You're probably right, red-shoulders are what I see nine times out of ten around here.

Can't help with the ID but it's a fine looking specimen. The bif is very well executed too.
