On a trip from Naples to Miami, Found this one and its mate sitting on a fence. The mate flew off as I got closer.....but this one held its ground on the fence post till I was close enough to reach out and grab him. Deff a rush!!

I wonder if that is a Sharp Skinned Hawk?

Probably a Red Tail. A sharp-shinned would have yellow or reddish eye (immature or adult).

Great shot.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
