Hi All...

Below are a couple of photographs I took of a hawk whose ID I'm not sure of. Any help with identifying it would be appreciated.

Location: Scottsdale, AZ

Thanks
Tom

I think dclark is right, Juvenile Cooper's Hawk, that or a sharp shinned hawk as they are very similar looking. The tail is looking more Coopers to me.

Thanks Dave, Michael and Ken...

I'm going with your suggestion of Juvenile Cooper's Hawk unless someone comes along later with a more definitive ID.

Nice find Tom. After having to look it up myself all the above ID's for a juvi Cooper's are correct.
Yellow eyes is one key ID as well as the crisp chest markings as compared to a juvi sharp-shinned.
