ID please/Red-shouldered?
Not sure if this is a Red-shouldered but that's my guess. Taken at the Six Mile Cypress Slough in Ft.Myers FL on the 26th of December.

Thanks for the help.

Definitely a red-shouldered. And a great looking image. Why didn't you post this one in avian? Or are you holding out a better one?

Yes indeed. A handsome red-shouldered hawk.

Red shouldered hawks are probably the most numerous hawks in the Fort Myers area, and Six-Mile is one of their hangouts.
