Coopers Hawk (juvenile)

Habitat:

wooded backyard

Notes:

This guy was sitting on my ground feeder and I was fortunate enough to get some pics before he flew away. I've been told he is probably a juvenile...just not sure what type.

I agree with imm. Cooper's. Among other things, the legs are too thick for Sharp-shinned.
