Unless I am mistaken, this is a juvenile red-shouldered hawk [buteo lineatus] learning to fly over a backyard swimming pool right down the street from Jefferson State Community College. There were two young hawks being taught to fly by their parents, which we’ve identified before as red-shouldered hawks.
