Robin:
My guess is that the bird is a 1st winter male Cooper's hawk.

Subject: [va-richmond-general] Fwd: Bird Pic
Here is an interesting photo that Mary A. asked me to post to the
listserv.� It comes from Jeff Trollinger.� He says:
"The bird picture I sent out earlier was seen in Hanover County over the
weekend.� I did receive some additional info from the person who took the pic
and it is pasted here:
�
� 'The bird picture is causing a bit of a stir here as well.�� If it
helps, I did get to see him from behind.�� His back was a solid color until
you get to his tail feathers.�� There are two black bands; one wider than
the other with wider one closer to the base of the tail.� The smaller band is
about half way down the tail and the tips of the tail feathers were white.�
The wings did not cross over the back, nor did they extend to the end of this
tail, but stopped just a bit past the base of this tail.'"
Mary Arginiteanu says that�Larry thinks it is an adult Goshawk; since it
looks somewhat small it is possibly a male.�
�
Any other ideas on the identity of this bird?
