Saw this one earlier today and snapped a pretty good photo, but I'm not entirely sure what type of hawk this is (Cooper's seems the most likely to me?)

Thanks

Welcome to the forum, kimifly! I agree on Cooper's Hawk, molting in to adult plumage. That's a nice photo you took. Please feel free to come back if you have further questions.

Agree on Cooper's. Excellent photo. Likely a large female. Here is a good Canadian website on identifying raptors.
