I called the national raptor rehab center that we have here and they ask me to put a blanket over him and bring him in. So I get my landing net out of my bass boat. Put on long leather gloves . Find a pet taxi to put him in. That all took 15-20 minutes. The bird had not moved. I walked up to him took several pics ,and then pick up the net. Got about 2 feet away and he hopped up and flew out of site. Never got more than 10 ft off the ground . I always called these squirrel hawks. But we have gotten a big population of perrigen falcons here in town and was wondering if this may be one.

However, it is most probably a goshawk, but maybe a sharp-shinned or a Cooper's hawk. They all look similar, but Cooper's is intermediate in size to the larger gos and smaller sharp-shinned. Definitely not a peregrine. Jack
