I now believe that this is an Accipiter or a Cooper's Hawk, and not a Merlin Falcon. Whatever it is, it's a handsome bird. Maybe someone here knows for sure what it is.
Thanks for the comments, friends.
I believe Richie is right. It's a Sharp Shinned Hawk. Thanks, Richie.

I don't know what is it, but it's beautiful. Somehow it fits to the place.

Hey Jim, I don't think it's a coopers hawk, but I could be wrong. But I do know its a wonderful capture through glass.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography.

Don't know what kind of hawk he is, but it's a magical shot.

It's a sharp shinned hawk Jim...It's a beauty and you caught him well...R.

A pretty face is fine but what a farmer needs is a woman that can carry a pig under each arm
I agree with Sandi it's not a cooper hawk or a red tailed hawk but that's as far as my hawk knowledge goes - whatever you did it well.

Jimbob - It looks like this hawk (or falcon or tit mouse) is waiting for a free lunch of a passing fish. Well done my friend. Thad

I think Richie is right, itīs a sharp shinned hawk. You have captured this beautiful bird in such a good way. Great work!

Whatever it may be, Jimbob, you have got a nice clear and sharp image of this guy. I like that dotted shawl he is wearing on the right!

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

Wish I could help you out, but I'm pretty much useless in the bird department. Whatever type of hawk he is, he is very handsome.

Yep, it's a Sharp-Shinned Hawk. I wonder what caught it's attention & I like the background too. Wonderful capture of this bird of prey, Jim.

Wonderful picture, Jimbob. He's a beautiful bird and I get the feeling that he is a Merlin just from looking at him.

Beautiful color tones and clarity. Very nice job! The ripples on the water behind him make for a perfect background.

What an aussom capture. It must have been a totally
special moment in time to not only see the Cooper's
hawk, but to see it wading in a stream. Marvelous!

A beautiful and good picture of the beautiful bird. But unfortunately I can not help you in determining the nature of the bird. A fine and beautiful shot Jim.

Jim, I agree with Garrett I think this is a coopers hawk. They prey on birds and sometimes drown them in water before eating them. This is one fantastic capture, great piece of photography.
