Not sure if you meant Broad-winged or Red-shouldered but these are the latter.

New Year's Resolutions:
Get my lifelist to 300 (currently 293)
Finally get Mountain Quail and Vesper Sparrow
Top my previous single year best (2011-253) I'm at 193 as of 5/12.

I like the term "Broad-shouldered" for the questionable juvies, B) this one is a definite Red-shouldered.

They may be Broad-shouldered Hawks or they may just be wearing pads.

Broad-shouldered would be a good new common name for Sharp-shinned.
