Waiting and Watching for Breakfast
Sharp-shinned Hawk — This hawk sat near my feeder area for 23 minutes waiting for a careless sparrow or finch. I had the chance to make many shutter clicks and here is one. I’m not confident identifying some hawks, so if this might be something else, please comment. It’s about the size of a dove...- Jamulbob

Juvenile Sharp-shinned hawk
Almost positive on ID for several reasons. First is size. When I first saw him, he was sitting on our deck railing, and launched into the pine tree. My immediate thought was "Kestrel". Then "Nope, wrong color". Second is the square tail, and the rounded head. Third is when he launched from the...- Huhwhat

Sharpie
Never put your camera away until you are off the shooting grounds, lol. This Sharp Shined Hawk was perched near my trail exit as I left the park yesterday. Was a great evening shoot as I added 6 birds to my list, this sharpie included! :)- Victor Vector

Hawk ID help, suburban Massachusetts, USA
Hello, My neighbor and I recently took these pictures of two different hawks in our backyards. For the darker pics (my pics), I assume it's a coopers or sharp-shinned. I have never been able to tell the difference. For the other one {my neighbor's): No idea. Is it possible that it is the...- Fmfoxx

Sharp-shinned Hawk closeup
April-15th, Tax-day was especially lucky today. This young one flew right by me and landed 40ft. away. AND, while I had my gear at the ready too. Had to swivel it around, focus and shoot in the 30-40 sec it remained studying me, but got it, got lucky this time!- Forcreeks

Sharp-shinned Hawk
This sharpie was scanning our yard for lunch. He sat out there for what seemed the longest time. So small in comparison to the Copper's and Red-tailed Hawks that visit occasionally. However, the chickadees were not too concerned because they continued to eat their lunch at the feeder while...- BayouBird7

Sharpie's becoming a regular here
Although I think he/she is a beauty, I'm not happy with this raptor terrorizing my birds as it makes several passes through my yard a day. It even landed on my upper deck railing and looked at me through the window. Thank you to all that comment on my images. I appreciate it.- ducbucln

Sharp-Shinned Hawk (Pacific Northwest Varient)
This is one of the rarer migrants into this area. This Pacific Northwest bird has slight, little oblong, to teardrop shaped markings on the under-tail coverts, where the South West bird does not. This individual could have come from anywhere in the Pacific North West, on up into Canada.- digishooter

This is a composite of two separate images merged. It's a chance to see the anterior (ventral) and posterior (dorsal) views of the bird. The images are of the exact same bird taken in the same light so as to maintain the correct color gamut.- digishooter
