I thought it was a Red-shouldered Hawk. Recently got the iBird Photo Sleuth app
for my iPhone. Ran your photo through the app and it gave a 99% probability
that your bird was indeed a Red-shouldered Hawk. I have so far been fairly
impressed with the app.

Hi Jesse,
The fine rufous-barred underparts, boldly dark/white checked wings (flight
feathers), and tail pattern (broad black bands separated by thin white bands)
point us to adult Red-shouldered Hawk.
Cheers,
Stefan

This hawk is all fluffed up against the cold and I am unsure of its ID
