No, I believe it is a sharp shinned hawk. Smaller of the hawks, not a real threat to small pets, more rodents and smaller birds. We have them frequently at our feeders during the winter months, using the location as a fast food stop preying on smaller birds.

We also have owls and Golden Eagles...now those are a threat to our cat and Miniature Wired Haired Dachshund.
