Is this a Red Shouldered Hawk. Here's the 1st picture of the hawk lying in the grass before the ambush. Btw this hawk was being sneaky just lying in the grass. I moved around to get a better shot of the hawk and lo and behold it attacked a bird within about 5 feet from where I stood. It happened so fast that I was not able to get a shot of the attack or a shot just after the attack. This was my second time experiencing a hawk attack within 5-10' in less than 1 week. I was stoked.

Thanks
