I was across the room in the kitchen and when he looked away I dropped down on the ground and tried to get my camera but he flew off but I managed to get this one. I recently had an adult Sharp-shinned and it looked smaller than this one. Maybe this is a juvenile Cooper's?

Sorry to hog up space, but appreciate help. :) pelletory Marlton, NJ February 10, 2008 12:13 AM Post #4518529 Thats okay no problem, it does look like a Coopers and if its bigger than the other that would definitely fit.

The first time they visited my yard (a few years ago) I wasn't too happy but now I've learned they are just doing what they "do" and love seeing them. I'm hoping they are coming for the field mice that hang out at my feeders too! lol
