[mou] Hawk ID

[Steve Weston]

I thought the same.  It has a great Coopers profile, long and lean, except that the wings are too long and the tail isn't long enough.

  Not sure on the size but it looks like an hatch year Cooper's to me.. The yellow eye puts it as a hatch year bird, the head is looking more Coop's to me..

    Yes, me and my bird ignorance are back. I saw a hawk at Carlos Avery that I (very tentatively) IDed as an immature broadwing. I would appreciate it if someone might look at this pic and critique my efforts.

    Thanks in advance for any help.
