Red Shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus)

This is a re-write of the description. Thanks to rkj and Peter for alerting me to a misidentification.
This Red Shouldered Hawk caught my attention by calling from a nearby perch. A week ago, I observed four of these hawks circling together nearby.

I mis-identified this hawk. Thanks to rkj and peter for letting me know. Originally I said Cooper's Hawk but it is surely a Red Shouldered Hawk. This current description is a re-write
