So shot this fellow the other day and I believe it is the first coopers or sharp shinned hawk of the summer I have seen. The hawks have been gone since march except for a few stray juvi red tails here and there. Can some one please confirm or set me straight. thanks guys and gals:

Can't say for sure but looks exactly like one I took a shot of back a few yrs ago and someone told me it was probably a Juvie SS . So if I guessed that is what i'd say it might be .

I'd guess Cooper's as it appears a bit big for a Sharpie, but it's just a guess.

It has a round tale rather than a flat tail, so it is a juvenile Cooper's Hawk.
