Sharp-shinned Hawk (Accipiter striatus)
Photo description
Juvenile Sharp-shinned I photographed in Iowa. It seems somewhat large and is probably a female. Although the tail of a sharpie usually has a squared off look juvenile sharpies can be somewhate rounded as seen here. The terminal white band on the tail is narrow and the streaking on the breast is somewhat wide and barred on the flanks.
