Great image. I too am leaning toward coopers hawk. Sharp shined are smaller with darker eyes. vz


Thanks. I was pretty sure it was a young Cooper's but once last winter I did that ID on one that looked like this and a bunch of birders informed me it was a Sharp Shinned and probably a female because it was as big as a small Cooper's male.

This representative of "Big Bad Birdies" - Inland Empire Chapter* came to call just before lunch time. Didn't get any lunch, so sat around on the fence a while, then on a birdbath for a while and finally left when no one came and volunteered to be lunch. I am bad at bird ID except a few. I cant decide if this is an immature Cooper's Hawk or a largish Sharp Shinned.
80D, Tamron 150-600 G2 @ 600 mm, 1/640 @ f/11, ISO-5000 due to back lighting by sun and spot meter on birds body. Then I had to use post processing apps to cut down the over exposed feathers with sunlight shinning through them.

*Inland Empire is a name applied to a large region east and south east of Los Angeles and Orange Counties and inland from the coastal mountains. Probably by real estate developers though at one time it was a "Citrus Empire" as well as grapes and wineries to a much greater extent than it is today.

Send a one way ticket and I will put it out for him.

Haven't seen him this morning but not many birds either-just a few hummers. So the hawk is probably perched up high near by putting damper on activity.
