mls60442 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Took this photo in Manhattan, Illinois (Northeastern Illinois, South Chicago Suburbs) today. I'm thinking Cooper's Hawk, but then the head makes me think Sharp-shinned. I've never been great at identifying these species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyE Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I would say it's a Cooper's. Reason for my ID is, the cap is dark but the nape is not. Also it looks as though the White Band at the end of the tail is large enough to make me think Cooper's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mls60442 Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 Okay, thank you for the help. Yeah, I initially thought Cooper's, but again, I am terrible at ID'ing these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
