The iNaturalist app is a great way to id all living things and assist scientist at the same time by documenting sightings. The app is free and easy to use. Upload your photo, location and time info. If you don't know the id someone will help you identify it.

If I am not mistaken, sharp shinned, and cooper's are virtually identical, except for size. The male smaller in both species, can overlap the female sharpshinned. Coopers the larger of the 2.
In either case, darn nice shot.

Thank You! She was daring me to come closer :)

Sharpie has the squared-off tail. That is how I tell it from a Cooper's Hawk. Great shot.

PS: On further reflection my latest might be a Coopers.
Here's a link to where I finally got around to posting my latest hawk...which I think also is a sharp shinned but, as noted, all growed up.

Coopers or Immature Gray or ?? I am in S. Az at this time.
There are (use to be) people on this forum that could identify any bird in an instant. Are you still here :)
Thanks for your help.

Look carefully at the vertical markings on the breast. I vote for Coopers Hawk (check websites below)
This is a Coopers Hawk

Thank You! My husband and I were outside and he noticed the hawk. So I ran inside to grab a camera hoping that it would still be there. It stayed for awhile until it got tired of me stalking it.
