Yes, it must be a red shouldered hawk. I assumed Cooper Hawks were bigger because of the name “Chicken Hawk”. The hawk in that photo couldn’t steal a chicken.

Coopers talons aren’t even enough to deal with squirrels or corvids, you can often see all of them sharing a habitat. Mice would be their go to meal. I used to take pictures of them training their young to hunt in North Dakota, you could see ten to twenty spread between some elms and aspen during April and May.
