I have been seeing more of these in Niagara this year. I believe we'll be seeing allot more species returning in numbers as DDT's are finally wearing off and no longer killing off wildlife. Some species like cormorants have already returned in numbers that are actually overwhelming but this one still seems rare. I know what it is already do you? This one was found in a neighbors garden after it hit his window. Normally you can find them on the forest floor and quite often don't see them until they fly up right in front of you. This can make the heart race. What am I? Dan

It was a trick question. It can't be answered on account of the (nasty word filtering software).

I'm going to guess a coopers hawk only because there are so many in Niagara. It can be tricky though because the immature ones look different and their almost identical to a sharp shin. The main difference being the size.

Its a Coopers Hawk, the rounded tail feathers gives it away. A lot of time it Is hard to identify Coopers Hawks from Sharp Shinned hawks in photos unless you have something in the photo for scale. And even that doesn't help all the time. These are the hawks that pigeon farmers hate!
