Accipiter cooperi
It's a medium size accipiter with a long tail (white at base is wider than on Sharp Shinned) short wings and an appetite for other Birds. It has a rather flat head, eye is close to the beak.
They breed all across Montana and the Dakotas up into the lower Canadian provinces. i expect this one like his mom 'n pop will hang around all Winter hoping to catch an unwary sparrow. Come Spring they'll take to better feeding grounds.
Spotted this morning at a roost near the feeding areas. Why these posted sideways i do not know but nothing i did would make it change
