This hawk was on our backyard fence near Chicago a few days ago. I apologize for the poor quality of the photo. I shot through a thermopane window, so there are 2 bad "filters" between the camera and the bird. We usually get a few visits from these birds each winter.

Sharp shinned or a Coopers?

Great picture for shooting through the glass.

quote hooky: "Sharp shinned or a Coopers?

I called it a Sharp-shinned rather than a Coopers hawk only because of the square tail.
