Looks like the red shouldered hawks we have around here. We had a nest of them about 100 feet from the house this year. They are LOUD. Their squawk is something fierce.
This Hawk ( I think ) was above the Brook on top of this dead Pine or Hemlock, what type do you think it is?
the one through the screen appears to be a hint of brown color in the tail - tough to tell. Possibly a red-tail hawk
That's about the best I can do with this camera, I was zoomed in, the picture is also cropped. He was a longs ways away.
This picture reminds me of the sparrow hawk. We have them here. They clean out the Robbins nest every year. http://www.arkive.org/eurasian-sparrowhawk/accipiter-nisus/image-G43868.html
the one through the screen door is a red tail hawk - notice the partially molted/speckled breast just above the front of the legs. The tail color is hard to distinguish in the picture but when the feathers lay flat you barely see any red/brown at all
I did send the latest picture of the Hawk to Cornell, hopefully they can get back with a positive ID.
The only response we received from Cornell was, where did you see this, so I emailed back the answer. We'll see if they get back with an identification.
I just received this response from Cornell. The picture is pretty rough, but from what I can see there is at least a strong possibility that is a Red-shouldered Hawk. It looks like I can see a bit of red in the shoulder area (a good start!). I’m getting an even toned back (as opposed to Red-tailed which often has more white), and the tail appears to have some black and white barring. http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-shouldered_Hawk/sounds
I think it's a broad- winged hawk, they are a little bigger than a crow have the tail banding like the red shoulder does, and the ones Iv'e seen in the woods around here have a gray color like the 1st pic.
