Title: Hawk

We saw two of these at Centennial Park yesterday.
Not sure but think it may be Broad-winged?

It's a Sharp-shinned/Cooper's Hawk, not sure which.

Thank you Thomas!
It will be Coopers then, because of the size. It was the tail that confused us.

Here is a broad-winged in flight, much thicker tail banding.
