zbird 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelLong Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Coopers or Sharp-shinned Hawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Brain 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm going with Sharpie due to the preponderance of the evidence. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candydez12 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I would say Sharp Skinned hawk with the bulgy eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbird 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
