I am going with a Cooper's Hawk even though it could be a Sharp-shined Hawk. Accipiters specialize in praying on other birds." Short rounded wings allow for fast acceleration and aid in dodging around and going between trees and branches. The long tail aids in braking and making fast turns". I sincerely appreciate your comments. Thank you. I take my photos in southeastern
Ct. most with a Canon I or 5D M IV and Canon 100 to 400 Il.

Super sharp image. Great composition.
Great capture of the Coopers Hawk. Very sharp
Looks like a Cooper to me to hard to tell. The only sure way I can tell is by the tail, a Cooper's is round and a Sharp Shined is tapered. Coopers are bigger unless it's a Sharp Shinned female they are bigger than Cooper, confusing to me. But the shot is sharp and well composed, hard to do with wild life. I would hang unto it probably not on a wall, people get squeamish when they see nature as it really is.
Let's see some more, you do good work
Excellent photograph of beautiful bird!
