I had the chance to closely study an immature accipiter in my backyard
this last weekend. With Sibley's and Wheeler's opened before me I
studied size (sharpy), iris color (cooper's), square tail (sharpy), dark
brown finely marked breast (cooper's), small round head with distinct
white line in eyebrow (sharpy). I decided on a light colored male
Sharp-shinned, with the only real deciding factor being the size; he was
big enough to scatter the feeder birds, however.
