Hawk ID help please.
I've tried to match these two hawks to images in my two bird books, but I'm still uncertain as to what they are. I've included 2 pictures of the first one with different head positions. I think it's either a Cooper's Hawk or a Sharp-Shinned Hawk. The second one I have no idea. For context, these were taken at Ladner, BC in Dec 2020 & Jan 2021. Anybody know what these are? Thanks.

Got a little bit of sun on Thursday, did not see the distracting branch in front until I got the image into LR
Got out the 300 f/2.8 II with the 2x TC adapted to the R5. From my back porch hand held. Might need to go back to the gym but more likely will just use the tripod.

Today finally good weather and birds were active.

Does look like a Cooper's hawk to me in the first two. The third might be a juvenile Cooper's Hawk but it is hard to differentiate from the Sharp-Skinned.
The older of the two Reddish Egrets landed in the water and then walked over to stand in front of me. It was one of those somewhat cloudy days where the sun would make it through the openings for five minutes and disappear for the next ten.

A Bald Eagle pounced on a mallard duck resting on a sheet of ice and has almost finished eating it. Disturbing but natural.

Every lens has its silver lining. If you can tolerate its min focus distance and ISO due to f/11, this RF 800mm is a good performer. I had a Sigma 60-600 and it was also very good in its own sense.That image makes my Tamron 150-600 G1 look mediocre.
I was hunting for Black-footed Albatross this weekend. Didn't find it (single{?} bird regularly visiting one of the two colonies of the Laysan Albatross on the Island).
First photo from ~60 meters, the other two ~30 meters.
Sorry but I didn't get an option for full image?!

Some blackbirds are singing right now close to my balcony. These birds are very naughty this season. They come close and sing either after sunset or before sunrise!
The rest time of the day they are elsewhere
Not my best blackbird pictures (and not even good pictures, plus the flash has ruined the eye) but I just wanted to show what I meant above.
They come exactly the same time every day (hmm night!) so I was prepared
This time they were 2 street blocks away.

This photo was taken last May. I wonder if it's the same blackbird
I thought, at first, I was seeing sensor dust. But I checked and it is just blurred stuff on the water. R5 with adapted EF 100-400 MKii and 1.4x using ISO 2000, f/8/

The first two are Cooper's Hawk and the last one is a Rough-legged Hawk. Nice shots!

I was able to watch a Merlin eat a Dark-eyed Junco this afternoon, on my way home from work. Perfect timing, I guess! But beware, the following photos are not for the faint-hearted. 7D mkll / EF 600 f4 ll / 1.4x lll
