Help identify this hawk

[dakids]

This hawk has been hanging around my bird feeder.  The kids saw it catch a black cap chickadee.  What type is it?

    It would be a juvenile Coopers hawk.     As Fog Horn Leg Horn used to say (it's a chicken hawk).

Looks like a young Coopers to me also.

  It's not a Chicago Blackhawk is it?

  I thought this was the sports forum.

From the size on the tire and the square tail... its a immature Sharpshinned hawk, female.

Here is a picture of one, they look like Cooper's hawks but smaller and more likely to be found this far north in the winter.

I compared some pictures and I think its almost to close to tell. It really looks like both the Sharpshinned and the Coopers. Judging by the tail I don't think it could be a Red Shouldered Hawk.

Where in the state?  I've never seen one in the NW metro.  Mostly red tails in my back yard.

The tail is just part of the Hawk, Eye, high, color,Feet and the face are all part to look at as well, In this photo you can not see the tail the best, as a Sharpshinned and the Coopers. have more gray and white in then and tall and slimmer, I bast my thou more in what I could see in the photo Eye, high, color,Feet and the face as the size of the Hawk tell me is not a juvenile, With that all said I am not 100% sure. I am 90% sure it is a Red Shouldered Hawk But this is just my option, Must go to work now,

If you look at the tail closely you can see the banding just like the sharpshinned.  My daughter thinks corny is right. If it come back I will try to get a better picture that isn't taken through a screen.
