Looks a lot like the visitor I get at the feeder even though across the ocean. Cooper Hawk?
yes it is remarkably similar isn't it ! At first I was convinced it was a Sparrowhawk . Nice captures by the way:t:

Hey Crazyfingers what type of Hawk is it? Sorry didn't read properly Cooper Hawk, I'm only a novice with Non British birds, i'm still learning, that's what i like about this site seeing all the different birds from around the world although they do have some funny names
I'm pretty sure it's the juvenile cooper's hawk that has been hanging around my yard and feeder all winter.
Here is a better picture of it.
My resident hawk
you may be wondering where bananafishbones is and why he's so quiet.
he's birding for 2 weeks in indonesia.
Arn't they fantastic singers Roger. I heard one a week or so back singing his heart out for about 4x hours. I could just see him through bins .I am amazed at the variety of sounds they can make and how it carries.early evening and a nice song thrush in the trees singing away:t:

we had a special visitor this morning.
A lovely looking garden bird quite a few of us are getting to see. Keeps all the rest on their toes I guess. Great image.:t::t:
Thanks, Zebs. Weather looks good for mid-March - dry, sunny and around 25C/82F.
Wish we our birds had wonderful names like some of yours, Azzy!
We usually get lots of Common Grackles in February. They were late this year. Saw a few around our yards a couple of days ago. Then standing in our front yard yesterday afternoon, I counted about 800 flying overhead.
They didn't seem to bother one of our Red-bellied Woodpeckers.
