I have a window feeder and this bird just flew up and underneath it, not sure what it is. Can anyone help me? I'm just getting started in the bird world!

Thanks!

Welcome to Whatbird!
You have a hawk from the genus Accipiter. In this case, either Cooper's Hawk or Sharp-shinned Hawk. Looks a bit bulky for Sharpie, and I'm seeing a gray nape, so I'd guess Cooper's.

I'd say Cooper's too. They prey on smaller birds, so he might be watching your feeder for his next meal.

Agree with Cooper' Hawk.

Fifthed. Looks like a very well-fed Coop! I thought it was a chicken in the thumbnail!

Thanks everyone! I appreciate it! I look forward to learning more!
