Today I discovered that we have a hawk family nesting in the tall palm tree on our street. It was quite a sight. I took these pictures this morning. I tried to identify them and as best as I can tell they are Broad-winged Hawks.
Hi Richard: I think its a Coopers Hawk since their range includes this area. See: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Coopers_Hawk/id The Broad-winged Hawk it typically on in Eastern US. See: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Broad-winged_Hawk/id On this site you can play the audio of their call - that might help identify it.
Thank Sean. Looking at the photos closely we determined it is most likely a Red Shouldered Hawk. http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-shouldered_Hawk/lifehistory
