Hi Tweeters,

The way that I remember, which bird has the squarer tail and which has the
rounder tail, is:

Sharp-shinned begins with S therefore it has the square tail and the Cooper
Hawk has a round tail like a C.

Simplistic, YES, but it helps when you want a quick confirmation of which bird
has which tail.

Happy New Year and may it contain many bird sightings!

Great birding and find that next lifer!

The problem with Modern Man is he can no longer
