A gentle correction by Robert Stalnaker on one of yesterdays postings, sent me back to the photos I got yesterday. I wasn't paying attention and called this bird a Coopers Hawk! Sorry for any confusion I may have caused :]

As I was looking at, and photographing a woodpecker, My attention was drawn about a hundred yards away from my position by a Murder of Crows raising a ruckus! I know that when I hear a sound like that, there is more than likely a Red-tailed Hawk near by. In this case, it was two Red-tailed Hawks, and they were being harassed by three species of Corvidae; Crows, a Blue Jay and a couple Magpies. Didn't get a shot of the Blue Jay

The red-tailed hawk is a bird of prey that breeds throughout most of North America, from the interior of Alaska and northern Canada to as far south as Panama and the West Indies. It is one of the most common members within the genus of Buteo in North America or worldwide. Wikipedia
I was talking to a fellow trail walker, on my way home, about the Red-tailed Hawk I'd seen at the start of my walk. He said 'What's that?' and pointed behind me. I turned and, quick, get the camera turned on, point, shoot, got it! I think it's the same hawk I saw earlier.
