Cooper's hawk (Astur cooperii) is a medium-sized hawk native to the North American continent and found from southern Canada to Mexico. This species was formerly placed in the genus Accipiter. As in many birds of prey, the male is smaller than the female.
Attractive chunky hawk of marshes and wetlands. Usually seen perched quietly near water, waiting to swoop down and snatch fish or frogs. Adult is distinctive, with mostly orange plumage and a whitish head (black collar is often hard to see). Immature is brownish overall, duller than the adult, but with a similar pattern. Note rather pale, dull pinkish legs and feet (yellow or orange on most other hawks). In flight looks very broad winged and short tailed.
The red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus) is a medium-sized hawk. Its breeding range spans eastern North America and along the coast of California and northern to northeastern-central Mexico. Red-shouldered hawks are permanent residents throughout most of their range, though northern birds do migrate, mostly to central Mexico. The main conservation threat to the widespread species is deforestation.

I was watching this hawk as it sat on a low branch in a pine tree. It was pretty far away from me but then It took off and landed on the ground about twenty feet in front of me. I watched it until it disappeared in the thick brush and then flew away with a lizard in its talons.

This Buteo nests on cliff ledges in the tundra region of North America. It feeds mainly on small rodents and will often hover while seeking prey.

Coopers Hawk hanging around at the outskirt of my backyard trying to eat-up all my birds! He has been a nuisance for the past two days and the bird activity at the feeders has diminished considerably with him around.
