My guess is a Cooper's hawk, very similar to a sharp-shinned but
larger.DonnaSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

[fhs-65] Hawk?
Spotted this fine feathered friend quite some distance from the
house, way up in a tree. Had to get out the binoculars and extend
the camera's telephoto lens to see/photo it, in spite of the fact
that it appeared to be a very large bird. I'm just assuming it is
a hawk.
Any of you birders care to guess what it is? I looked around but
only found pictures close to that of the Sharp-shinned hawk,
however, it was described as being the smallest of the hawks.
Tail seemed a little different too. This handsome fellow two
houses away appeared to us to be quite large. It also looked huge
when it flew off.
Suggestions?
Steve
