Juvenile Cooper's Hawk on top of the observation blind, Cash Lake, South Tract, Patuxent Research Refuge
Edge of freshwater lake
Thank you! I was leaning toward Cooper's, but I still have a hard time telling them apart.
Hard to tell which one it is cause the tail is flattened against the roof.
Square head, thick legs, thin breast streaking, and square tail differentiate it from Sharpie.
