Finally got a pic of this fellow. Funny how the other birds vanish when this one is around. Small falcon? hawk? I haven't tried to look it up yet

Cooper Hawk is my guess. Mikey, give this one a shout out.

american kestral, aka sparrow hawk is my guess, it looks like it may be small in size.

[IA4PATS]

could be a sharp shinned hawk too. They are so hard to tell the difference.

Look at the size of the pine needles compared to the hawk. I'm gonna go with sharp shinned, looks too small to be a coopers.

This bird appears to be broadest around the chest, possibly indicating a Sharp Shinned. A Coopers Hawk will be more barrel shaped from the chest to the hips.

The legs also seem to have a very thin appearance, again indicating a Sharp Shinned Hawk.

SS has my vote.

Sharp-shinned would be my guess as well based on relative size as goblue M pointed out.

Agreed. But then, I'm wrong quite often.

It's a Sharp-shinned hawk I have one thats comes in every other day or so. I like to mess with there mind. I put out Purple Martin and Dove decoys. They will always go for the slowest bird and a decoy is the slowest bird around. This way the song birds have time to get away. You have to move the decoys around after every hit. It's easy to know when the decoy has been hit, it will be hanging upside down.
