Cooper's or Sharp-shinned hawk?

[attachment=0:3v3iceu7]P1010198.jpg[/attachment:3v3iceu7]I am hoping someone can distinguish which one this is! Taken this morning at Cedarvale Park, Toronto

Many thanks!

An adult hawk but can't distinguish from this photo ... too much concealment.
Sharp-shinned fly south for the winter and follow migratory birds on its north-
bound return. We have not seen much in the way of migratory birds yet and
therefore it is probably a Cooper's hawk. Sharp-shinned is a late spring and
summer visitor. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for this!
I will try to get a better photo in the coming days, as I frequent that area often. If it is building a nest (I saw it flying with a twig in its beak) then I guess it's planning to stay around.
