sbruenjes Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 I need some help.. I would have swore that was a cooper's hawk? Which marking makes it a broad winged hawk? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tail is too short, the wings are too long (reaching halfway down the tail), the belly looks barred rather than streaked, and there's a heavy moustache. In general, accipiters should look lanky, especially because of the long tail. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pictaker Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 For me it’s the brown eyes, COopers/ sharp shined don’t have brown eyes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For clarification, Accipiters have yellow eyes when young, turning to a menacing red in adulthood. Edited June 18 by Avery 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
