Red-shouldered Hawk (Immature)

Lake Frederick, Virginia

Spotted this young hawk with a snake flying up to a perch between our home and Lake Frederick. Got several shots with a hand-held camera; went for my spotting scope and got it set up, but I had another 'missed opportunity' because he flew before I could get the DigiScope camera focused.
I keep hoping for a Rough-legged or Broad-winged, but no luck so far.
