Bird ID please

[Bohdan]

Don't get many hawks in the yard....actually this is probably my first...so I would like to know what kind of hawk if you can help me out. I'm guessing, after checking bird books that its a sharp shinned?
Not a good image it's just for purposes of referencing the presence of a hawk in my yard 2024. and in early morning light without checking settings, I got this at 36,000 ISO

You can only see EXIF info for this image if you are logged in.

Could be a red tail but FWIW, I use Merlin ID on my phone and just take a picture of the screen. Usually works. I don't know your location otherwise I would do that.

Look like an immature, Red-shouldered Hawk. Where was this photo taken?

I use the Merlin app app on my phone. Usually to recognize bird songs didn't think of taking a picture of the screen to identify. Thanks for the tip.

Hard to tell in the early morning late. Took this in my yard thunder Bay Ontario as I was brushing my teeth.

Beautiful shot. I agree with the juvie Red Shouldered. The checkerboard chest, where as a Red Tail would have a nearly white chest.

thanks. So hard to tell. I've had Peregrine; Merlin; Cooper's; Sharp Shinned; offered as suitable candidates.

I think it is an immature Cooper’s hawk.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. The resident raptor rescue expert in Thunder Bay, has identified it as a juvenile sharp shinned hawk.. I'm betting on her. She knows her raptors up close
