zbird 10 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Let's try this again! Southern KY hawk, hopefully with working pictures. Sorry about that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MichaelLong 341 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Coopers or Sharp-shinned Hawk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Avery 714 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Hmmm. head looks blocky, but the streaking isn't defined, though that could be because of the photo. My vote is for Cooper's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bird Brain 1,085 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Sharp-shinned, with that thick, messy streaking and "bug" eyes. Also looks like the tail feathers are even and squared off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I'm going with Sharpie due to the preponderance of the evidence. 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Spencer 3,131 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 If standard, that facing and molding it's perched is is around 8 or 10 inches top to bottom. Sharpie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Candydez12 53 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I would say Sharp Skinned hawk with the bulgy eyes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zbird 10 Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Thanks everyone! I barely know anything about hawks, so I never would have guessed Sharp-shinned from this picture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Bird Nuts 4,272 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Personally, I'd leave this one as Cooper's/Sharp-shinned. I don't think we can see enough detail. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
