Coopers Hawk
"Could this be a Sharp-shinned? It would make a good discussion.
A few things I notice are the course streaks, fine bill and tarsi. And light eyebrow maybe?
(And that it's feathers have seen better days.)"
Dwayne Biggar replied to Veronica Knapp's discussion Flying Hawk in the group What Bird Is This?"My first thought was Broad-winged as well, right markings and wing shape.
But "screaming?" that throws me off. "
Dwayne Biggar commented on Maureen Clifton's blog post Mockingbirds"Put out a couple more feeders where they can't be seen from the main one, (if you can). Spread them out enough so they can't guard them all. Small bird selective feeders would be good for chickadee, nuthatch and finch.…"
Dwayne Biggar replied to David Hart's discussion Cleaning out barn swallows old nest from last summer"A Barn Swallow makes the cup shaped nest of mud attached to the side of a building or on the beam of a barn. I'd say not to clean it out or off. I'm pretty sure they add to the nest and would be a lure for more to…"

Here you can tell what are your favorite spots to go birdwatching and which birds you have seen there and if there are forest,prairie,or feeder.
Dwayne Biggar replied to Lindsay Black's discussion Hawk ID Help"It's an immature Red-tailed Hawk. You can see the belly band, and the tail is shortish compared to the wings. Neat story. "
Dwayne Biggar replied to Emma's discussion Bugs in Bird Seed"Yes, and get them out of your house asap or freeze them until you can take them back for refund, the moths can be extremely hard to get rid of.

- Yes Dwayne, Still want to be friends. That`s one of the great things about this site, people are so willing to help with identification of birds. Even if it is not a Goshawk it gives me incentive to try and photograph one. I believe they are in southern Ontario. I started a discussion and whatever the outcome is I`ll have to go with it, lol. I did see what you mean by the tail feathers. Cheers Vern.

- Thanks for the link Dwayne. Now I`m so confused. I have a real hard time Identifying hawks, especially immature ones. I think what I will do is start a discussion on this. I checked out the link and I saw both immature birds and I have a feeling you may be right, if so I`ll have to deduct Northern Goshawk from my list. Oh well Just have to keep looking. Cheers Vern.
