A fluffy Sharp-Shinned Hawk. 🗡️

[Edit no. 2: WRONG. This is a Cooper's Hawk. I'm leaning on @hawkpartys' expertise here: "This is a Cooper's Hawk. See pale nape, dark cap, thick tarsi, graduated tail feathers, and large white undertail coverts."

While I based my ID on size compared to another nearby hawk, maybe this is just a small individual. To quote the National Audubon Society, and to reassure myself, "Lots of birders—expert birders—have come away shaking their heads and jotting down “Cooper’s/Sharp-shinned” in their notebooks."]

Sharp-shinned Hawk

Stealthy and agile, this hawk drives small birds to seek cover. When the noise-filled trees and bushes become silent, watch for this predator to be nearby.

A Sharp-shinned Hawk is pretty much what a bird/squirrel feeder does not really want to see perched on his shepherd's hook...

Where did everybody go .... by Debbie Meader Via Flickr: Little Rocket Man! A male Sharp-shinned Hawk landed on one of our Shephards Hooks at a seed feeding station. It is amazing when he flies in that all of the birds suddenly disappear!!
