Hey, Cobirders,
Curious as to your thoughts on this. I'd have thought a pigeon is too big for a Sharpie, and I've had Cooper's (and Goshawks) take pigeons in the yard before... But a female Sharpie and a western male Cooper's aren't much different in size. I see traits of both in the different pics...
In my past experience the Accipiter's size has been noticeably larger relative to a pigeon.
Here's my ebird link with photos:
