Notes¶
We have only seen the juvenile variant of this hawk. It was relatively small in size for a hawk and looked similar to the Red-Tailed Hawk since it did not yet grow its blue-ish adult plumage. Later on, we photographed the adult version which looks very similar to the Sharp-shinned Hawk. A good way to tell them apart is that a Cooper's Hawk is "wearing a hat" while the Sharp-shinned Hawk has continuous head to back plumage.
