Red-shouldered Hawk

Lake Frederick, Virginia

Receiving a mix of rain/snow today. Only put out covered feeders and suet feeders.
This hawk perched on this red-cedar post for over half-an-hour; took this image through our bedroom windows.
I've got no way of telling, but this might be the same hawk: https://pbase.com/missed_opportunities/image/172422490

Nice! I saw one here a couple of days ago and found a feather from one today.

Looks like it is doing well in spite of the weather, perhaps thriving on creatures attracted to feeders.
