Juvenile Cooper's Hawk?

[Sue Farris]

Can anyone confirm this for me? It flew up from the ground under my feeder to the post it's sitting on. If not a Cooper's, what is it?

Thank you,

Sue Farris (she/her)

I’m more than happy to stand corrected, (always up for an opportunity to learn more) but this looks like an immature (?) Red-shouldered Hawk (RSHA) to me.

I believe so as well...really good sized. I had both in my yard a couple of days ago and this looks like the bigger one. Much larger than nearby juvenile Cooper's harassing it!     Sharon in Saco
