Awesome pics Doug, not sure exactly what kind of hawk it is, but I've always referred to them as sparrow hawks.

If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

What are the odds that this one was raised by a falconer?

I let golden eagles out of my leg-hold traps in SW OR in the '70s. Offset jaws protected their legs from damage. Occasionally one would find my set and get caught and the tricky part was letting it out without the talons going through flesh. One young golden sunk its talons through one of my hands one day. It was quite painful and when I got the last talon out, it got nervous and sunk them in again. My hand was quite bloody and full of holes but the bird was fine.

Don't know any around me.   I always have "them", I say them becasue I have a couple varieties I think that buzz my pens constantly.  Its a constant food supply and they are safe.  They don't seem to bother the pheasants and the chickens don't even notice them.  I'll take all the help I can get controlling the sparrows.  I had a pair that hung around all summer and I assume this was one of them.  Its funny, because my gunfire doesn't bother them at all.  I'll be shooting and all of a sudden they come swooping by.  I wonder if they now are like Grizz bears and associate that with an easy free meal.

Those are great pics.  My guess is a Sharp Shinned or a Coopers.  Both are very similar.

It IS a sharp shinned....

We'll see Doug..not sure how much longer sapphire is going to be around... it will always be "around" but I may be getting a full time fish gig and will shut her down for a while.... we'll see...

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Thanks Guys!

I was argueing with my mother over it as she called it a coopers.  Well it didn't help it was about the size of a bluejay, but not a dove. LOL   I thought a coopers was quite a bit bigger.  This description says size of a crow.  Holy crap check out this thread.
