I think it&#8217;s probably a Cooper\u2019s hawk (<em>Accipiter cooperii<\/em>) but it&#8217;s really hard to say for sure. Distinguishing between Cooper&#8217;s and sharp-shinned hawks (<em>Accipiter striatus<\/em>) is very difficult and I tend to favor sharpies in identifications because I think they&#8217;re a bit more common. But that may be a self-fulfilling prophecy. In any case, it&#8217;s one of those two and it&#8217;s a lovely bird.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We went for a walk part of the way around Lake Needwood today.
