On the hunt

For those of you that saw my post on the Racoon while sitting in my patio in the back yard a couple days ago I was able to get another surprise the following day. Again just relaxing as the sun was going down I heard the flaping of wings and to my surprise this is what I was able to see happen right in front of me about 30 feet away. Not sure what the raptor is, can someone let me know.

Hi Dianne, Thank you, and thanks for your help. I tried to Goolge Raptors and it was sure confuseing when I saw so many that looked very similar.

Hi again Dianne, I have a few Bird books and a few Hawks look alike so It was difficult for me to really know which hawk it was that I able to photograph. It happend so fast. But you are right about bird books.
