Just and FYI for interested folks of neat bird I heard about the other day
from a friend in Oregon. I know this went around in Feb. but its still
relevant. The observer is reported to know Red-shouldered Hawks quite well.
Thanks!

Around Feb 16 I saw a hawk fly across the Snake River into Idaho that
I suspected was a Red-shoulder. Friday morning (3/9)I got looks at an
immature hawk in bad light on the Idaho side (Whitley Bottom) then
Saturday morning
I saw it
on Morton Island [43.990693, -116.947742], the Oregon side under excellent
light. It was perched with its back to me. I studied it at length, then as
I got out my new phone to attempt digiscoping it took flight and returned
to the Idaho side. Interested folks are welcome to contact me for more
details. Lars
