Had a visitor fly in yesterday, can you ID him?

Sitting up in my Oak, he flew right in, looking for mice or rabbits, small critters... Sat long enough for me to snap a quick ifone picture.

I'm guessing it is a red-shouldered hawk. These guys are similar to other hawks so I'm not 100% positive.

It's not a plane or Superman, so it must be a bird.

I didn't know that trees could fly but hey, this is the Trump adminstration so anything is truly possible.

I agree red shouldered hawk. We have a pair show up here every year to hatch and raise a baby-pretty impressive to watch. Gets pretty noisy when they are teaching the baby to fly and to hunt, though. We welcome them for rodent and snake control

That's my pet lovebird !!! About 2 years ago the wind blew his cage to its side and he got out. Nice to see he is doing well. God Bless
