| Wild Rose Farm - Broad-winged Hawk? |
Mr. Wild Rose Farm tells me that there's a pile of feathers behind the tree on the driveway. Looks like the hawk found it's own "bird feeder". Anyway, the best guess we have is that it's a Broad-winged Hawk. The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Birds says that it winters in tropical South America ...... perhaps it's a juvenile and doesn't read yet.
Anyone out there who can confirm? It did have a very thin whistle cry, not what I expected from a hawk.

This looks like a Cooper's Hawk :)
Here is a link on Cooper's Hawk vs Sharp- shinned Hawks. I see the vertical stripes and they are mentioned in the juvenile Cooper's description..also the tail... http://www.birds.cornell.edu/pfw/AboutBirdsandFeeding/accipiterIDtable.htm
