A coworker of mine caught this hawk in her barn, kept it long enough to take some pictures, then released it. It looks young.

I saw the picture as her desktop and thought it was gorgeous

She said they did lose some chickens to a bigger hawk

It looks like a juvenile Cooper's Hawk. I have them in my yard going after my feeder birds all the time!

With that long tail it may be Northern Goshawk.

Agree with juv Cooper's; I don't think it has the bulk and heavy talons necessary for Gos
