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

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

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,
