My neighbor across the street has mentioned having Red-Tailed Hawks in his backyard. We recently fenced in our backyard... and since... we've seen this beauty in the exact same spot! And I FINALLY got a decent shot of it. So... I'm wondering. Is this a Red-Tailed Hawk? Or something else?! Any help identifying would be greatful appreciated! Thanks!!!
Cooper's Hawk, immature - note the long tail

Thanks, Resin! I didn't think it looked like the pictures I saw on Google. But sometimes it's hard to tell!
Well if Google fails you try our Bird Files http://davesgarden.com/guides/birdfiles/ here is a link to the Cooper's Hawk http://davesgarden.com/guides/birdfiles/go/181/
