Title: Hawk ID
Post by: moratorian on August 17, 2008, 03:20:15 PM

I believe this to be a juvenile Sharp-shinned Hawk. Shot at Leslie Spit on Sunday, Aug. 17. Can someone confirm or suggest alternative?

Thanks Napper. Cooper's would have been my second choice. It was a very cooperative bird, landing very close and then sticking around while I got numerous shots.
