Thanks to all who took the time to suggest what my mystery bird was. By far
the consensus of the 12 or so replies was either Sharp-shinned or Cooper's
Hawk. Within these responses, there were leanings toward one or the other for
various reasons. I appreciate everyone's interest and helpful comments.
To start your snowy morning with a beautiful bird, here's another N. Pintail
photo.
Good birding,
Alan Lenk
