Title: Red-eyed vireo? Immature Sharp-shin?
Post by: Charline on August 16, 2020, 10:04:26 PM

Did I identify them correctly?

This was near Six Mile Lake

Could be a juvenile (immature) Red-eyed Vireo. Certainly a Vireo.
I'm thinking Cooper's Hawk in transition from juvenile to adult.

Lovemypt, thank you very much!

That's likely it. I do feel that the hawk is smaller than Cooper's which I saw from time to time in Toronto.
