Not sure what type of hawk?

[Tim Abbott]

Not a great professional quality image.  I immediately thought red shouldered, but it looks like something else.  This is hand held zoomed to 1365mm.  Just to show field results.  Canonhs60 hs.  Bird was in mixture of light & I was looking east in the morning.  He/she was sure making a lot of noise.

Can't see the breast very well, so can't tell which way the colors run, but IMHO it is either s Sharp-Shinned or a Broad-Winged Hawk.. In Stokes Field Guide to Birds, on pg 167, the image at the lower right looks pretty close...
