Florida Hawk at resort

Supper time at the condo, but I think I got too close before he captured his supper.
We went to the park to see the Hawk and Osprey.
Didn't see either one, when we got back to our time share this Hawk was there.
I think it is a Florida Red Shoulder (which apparently look different than other Red Shoulder Hawks), but it could be the Broad Shoulder. A lady there told me it was a "Golden". Think she was thinking of eagles, which I do know it isn't an eagle.
This last photo was the second before it took flight.
Don't really care which type Hawk, he was just pretty to look at.
Oh, and if anybody is interested in the upper left corner is my Etsy site, you can see what I have been spending my time doing. As I list new purses they change there and you can keep an eye on my lastest listings. Right now I am knitting on a Red, White and Blue purse. Hopefully it will be listed in the next week.

Found in the old tree at Lake Seminole Park

When we came back around to the old tree, in previous post, this is what we found.Needless to say, we weren't disappointed. I have researched this and feel comfortable saying it is a Broad Winged Hawk, but correct me if I am wrong.
He let me walk all the way around him, but the light was not right from the other side.
UPDATE: I may have felt comfortable saying this was a Broad Winged Hawk, but it has turned out to be Red Shouldered Hawk. A Florida Red Shouldered Hawk is closer in appearence to the Broad Winged Hawk than in any other area. Thanks to all that helped with the identification.
