Another of my five birds in flight series, all taken in recent weeks over our property.
This one has the added bonus theme of all being hawks! 😃
The first two are either a Cooper’s Hawk and/or a Sharp-shinned Hawk. Both of these hawks are so close in looks that I cannot feel 100% sure which either one is, I did give my thoughts on each shot.
If anyone feels confident on identifying either, I’d very much appreciate it!

Sharp-shinned Hawk
(I’m leaning more to Sharp-shinned Hawk…small head even with wings, square tail, little legs/feet)
.
Cooper’s Hawk
(I lean more to Cooper’s Hawk on this one…big legs/feet, big head out forward, white-tipped tail)
