I can't ever tell these two apart. This hawk has been hanging around for a few weeks and this time it landed right out my front door. It was taken through the front door so its a little soft.

Looks like a Broad-winged Hawk to me

Ahh, I guess that means I can't tell those 3 apart. That was the same thing my mom suggested. I just assumed 1 of those two.

Thanks

According to the map, Broadwings only hit Eastern Oklahoma. I suppose it could be one. But it looks like a Coopers to me, which have raindrop shaped speckles, up and downish, while the Sharpie has ripple marks, side to side. Also, this guys legs are thick like a Coopers. Just my guess. :)
