The wife and I went for a walk in Matheson Hammock Park, Florida on our first weekend back in Miami. My amazing wife spotted a Broad-Winged Hawk, and I swear it was following us.

Also, I googled to find which type of Hawk this was... Is it a Broad-Winged Hawk?

I shot these on my Canon R w/ Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | C

I'm still learning also, but my guesses, with the help of Merlin photo ID, would be:
946, 935 and 892: Immature Coopers Hawk
732, 723 and 720: Red-shouldered Hawk

Immature and adult Red-shouldered Hawk. Cooper’s Hawk has much longer tail, rounded, white-tipped. The immature is the classic buteo-shaped. Fine photos!
