Cecelia,
This is a young Cooper's Hawk. The broad white band on the rounded tail, the
relatively small-looking eye, and the relatively thick legs all point to
Cooper's Hawk.
Best Birding,
Stefan

I apologize for imposing because this bird was not in Tennessee;
however, I’ve learned that Tennessee birders are always good to

Attached are three images of the same hawk taken this morning. Fortunately,
he turned around. Is it a Cooper’s or a Sharp-shinned?
Can you please refer to field markings so I can be a bit more
educated?
Thanks so much,
