1 Eastern Phoebe
2 agree
3/4 Sharpie/Cooper's. I'm inclined towards latter but not sure.

The last bird is a Red-shouldered Hawk. I agree with the others (Eastern Phoebes, Brown-headed Cowbird, and Cooper's Hawk).

In my head, the tail is too long for a Red-shouldered Hawk and I go with Cooper's

I agree with Eastern Phoebe and Cowbird.

I agree. #3 is a Coopers. #4 is a Red-shoulder.

How, then, do you explain the dark throat on the bird #4, the buffy wing panels in the wing tips, and the pale tail bars being obviously narrower than the dark tail bars?
