I agree that it's a Red Shouldered Hawk. They are common here, too. Though, not so common as to photograph one from just a few feet away. That was special.

Stepped outside to make a phone call, too much noise in the house, and saw this guy looking down at me from one of the trees.

Too bad he wouldn't get busy and take care of some of these guys.

Nice shot of the owl.
Actually, it's a red shouldered hawk. There are three or four of them that patrol the neighborhood. At least one pair has nested in our small subdivision. I seldom see one perching in one of my trees, but have seen it a couple times.
Thanks. I zoomed in and could clearly see it was a hawk.

Very Cool! I grow quite a bit of milkweed.
