gpoole Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 This hawk was in the oak tree in my back yard this morning. I managed to get a reasonable picture before it flew but it is proving harder to identify than I thought. The closest I can guess is Sharp-shinned Hawk. Can you help?

The Bird Nuts Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 The pale supercilium (eyebrow), steep forehead, bug-eyed appearance, blotchy rufous streaking on the breast and belly, and tail feathers of even lengths all point to Sharp-shinned over Cooper's Hawk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
