The tail looked squared, so I thought Sharp-shinned, but it was awfully big for a sharp-shinned. What do you think? I took tons of pics, but I'll just post 3.
CLOSED: Sharp-shinned or Cooper's?
Bump :-)
Are all these picture's of the same bird?
Immature Cooper's Hawk...the tail was a dead give away, however I just wanted to make sure they were all the same bird.
OK, you have to tell me how the tail was a dead give away. When I first saw it, I thought Coopers but then its tail looked square at the bottom which is supposed to be Sharp-shinned -- right? I'm more confused than ever!
BTW, thank you!
Here is a link to a side by side comparison to both the Cooper's and Sharp-shinned Hawk's.

Ditto to Cooper's

Thanks y'all.
Burd, after I looked at your comparison, I thought OK I get it. Then I went and looked at my photo and was confused again until I went to the photo gallery at the bird count. They had a sharp-shinned and its tail looked exactly like your photo and it finally clicked, really, really, sharply square!
