Aidan B Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I saw several different Accipiters today, and I want to make sure I have the right IDs. Bird One. Cooper's Hawk Bird Two. Sharp-shinned Hawk Bird Three I'm not sure, maybe leaning towards Sharp-shinned Thanks for the Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I agree with the first two, though fairly certain the last one is a Cooper’s. Has a large head, a more fierce look, round tail feathers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I agree with everyone else. Compare the flight shots of birds #2 and #3. Notice how the Coop's head projects much farther forward of the wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasan Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I'm not entirely convinced on the second bird- it seems kind of ambiguous to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
