Small Bird Killer
by: Rick

I believe this is a Merlin. It has a shorter tail and the bands on the tail are different than the Sharp-shinned. Also the shape of the wing looks like the Merlin's wing.

Deadly on small birds
by: Anonymous

This is another accipiter. A sharp-shinned hawk.
They are deadly on small birds.

Poor thing!

It could be a Cooper's Hawk.

The grey-blue color makes me think it might be a merlin. It has the strongly barred tail, and is smaller than a falcon.
