Sharp-shinned Hawk by Jackie B. Elmore 2-12-2005 Warren Co. KY
I took this archived photo of a juvenile Sharp-shinned in Bowling Green, KY back in 2005. It's interesting to me how thin and slight the legs are compared to the Cooper's Hawk that I've recently photographed in our yard. Compared to the Cooper's, also note, a lack of white at the tip of the squared tail. When I took this image, it was viewing a fly-over vulture in the sky.
