I use this adage: look at the end of the tail..... C-shaped = Cooper, Straight = Sharpie.

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, Cecelia Mathis Alleghany Co, NC
