| Gone but Together Again. Dad & Uncle  |
This guy was in our dogwood tree just about 5’ from my front door. Quick internet research seems to rule out a red tailed hawk and Cooper’s hawk as the internet pics don’t look like him/her.   | ||

iPhone has a new feature called Visual Lookup. It supposed to be able to identify all types of stuff. Birds are included in the list https://www.tomsguide.com/news/ios-17-visual-look-up I hope it helps? | |||

IDK, looks like a young Red Tailed Hawk to me. I have a few Cooper's hawk, Red Tail hawks and Red Shoulder hawks, American Kestrel, Bald Eagle, Osprey, Peregrine Falcon, around here, and though I'm not an expert in any bird ID, that looks like a young Red Tailed Hawk to me. ARman. | |||

We “raised” a group of Red Shoulder hawks in the white oaks at our house two years ago. Looks similar. Or a young Red Tailed Hawk. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

We had one that looked exactly like that in our tree. The best guess after a bunch of online sleuthing was that it was a juvenile Red Tailed Hawk. ___________________________________________ "Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?" -Dr. Thaddeus Venture | |||

When I posted this a couple years ago I was told a juvenile Red Tail. Does not look the same as yours.  These go to eleven. | |||

I always wondered what “look up” meant when you touched a picture. It immediately took me to a red tailed hawk for which the online pics looked much more like my visitor than the pics I found yesterday. Hence I believe he/she was a red tailed hawk. Thank you all for your suggestions! | |||

I don’t believe Apple’s AI algorithm knows the difference between juvenile hawks of the red-tailed, red-shouldered, and Cooper’s variety. In fact, I just figured out how to turn on that feature on my phone. My phone says your pictures are a red-shouldered hawk. My son’s phone says it’s a Cooper’s hawk. Go figure. The eyes are the wrong color for a red-tailed or Copper’s. The evenly spaced teardrop markings on the chest don’t seem right for a red-tailed whose brown chest markings look like a vest.This message has been edited. Last edited by: trapper189, | |||

A while back I spotted a hawk on the cross arm of a pole. , I stopped and watched it for nine minutes. I watched grab a lunch , Through the 8 power bino's it Looked like a three or four ounce fur bearing something. When it flew iff I paced the distance off, it came out to between 60 and 75 feet. I understand that they probably watch for movement. But that is very astonishing. That ability. Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.
