Merry Christmas to you-looks like a red-shouldered hawk, but it's a Cooper's Hawk?

Thank you Jim, David, Dennis, Ron and Therese for looking.

Therese,

this is a coopers Hawk I am reasonably certain. here is another view of the same one. You will notice there is no red patch on the shoulder. Normally I encounter Juvi coopers, but this one is an adult.
