Red-shouldered hawk?
Could someone please confirm the ID of this hawk? I found three of them in a KY cemetery.
Thanks! |

I might be way off here but it doesn't feel right for a Red-shouldered. Broad-winged maybe?

I see, the Cooper's is a member of the Accipiter family.
The bird I was watching was waiting to ambush a squirrel on a nearby tree (the squirrel was maybe three feet away). This is typical behavior of the Cooper's I believe. |
