Accipiter cooperii
Medium size bird. Probably 12 inches long. He crashed into our patio window very heavily.
Mountains in Utah. We are at 4500ft.
Even tail feathers + facial "expression" makes this a Sharp-shinned over Cooper's.
Woah, I just noticed you are holding an Albino Burmese Python in your picture. Very cool.
I think so AshleyT I went inside the house to grab my son and when I came back out he was gone.
Poor guy! Was he able to get back up and fly off after a few minutes? He looks pretty confused in the picture
