    A friend snapped these 2 photos in her backyard here in southern Ontario. Anyone know what kind of Hawk this is?

    My guess would be Accipiter cooperii, a Cooper's Hawk.

    I agree with Jerry although it looks small compared to the blades of grass and what looks like a leaf.

    Thanks! I wasn't sure because it was such a small hawk.

    I think it looks like a Coopers hawk too but mine are usually good size. Yours must be a young one.
