Winz1 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I spotted this near Tucson AZ this last weekend. I thought it was a juvenile Merlin or a Sharp Skinned Hawk, but am not sure. The bands on the tail and the white neck are the distinguishing features. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeker Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Most Sharpies have moved north for the breeding season, so I'm going with Cooper's Hawk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I tentatively agree with Cooper's Hawk. Definitely not any kind of falcon. Merlins have much longer wings, dark eyes, and thin pale bands on a dark tail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdbrain22 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Cooper's for me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
