Trying to get the hang of posting pics...here's a Cooper's Hawk I banded last weekend. You can see the band on its leg. Cooper's Hawks are one of the three species of Accipiters that we have in NYS, they are the mid sized species between Sharp-shinned Hawk and Goshawk. We can separate these by species and sex within species by wing and tail measurements. This one is a female.

You can see that it's eye is yellowish to maybe orange. A fully adult of this species will have a blood-red eye. I aged this one as in its third year.
