I think that’s a red tail hawk

Cooper’s are more gray w/ yellow eyes

(Had a Cooper’s hawk fly right into the side of my house last spring with a mourning dove in its talons. He was stunned, but managed to fly off w/ the dove when I made a rescue attempt)

That's simply too beautiful, Swampsniper. A beautiful bird like that in a sky so blue reaffirms once again my faith in God.

Those are some outstanding pictures. My wife and I like to go out and spot hawks on our week-end drives. Usually we see about 15 to 20 in an afternoon. We get Cooper hawks, lots of redtails, sharp shinned, lots of kestrels. Occasional merlin’s and harrier’s.

I’m not the I.D. expert though.

Great pictures. A sharp shinned hawk is real hard to tell from a Cooper’s, especially immature. A sharp shinned is smaller...

Good plan staying away from the TV today.

Great ! We have a mature bird who visits once in a while during the summer months - at least that’s what I think he is ! (Coopers and Sharpshins resemble each other at a distance.)
