[edit] Comparison with Cooper's Hawk

I added this image as a comparison on the Cooper's and Sharp-shinned pages. The originals show the difference in shape of the tail well, but were not done to scale, so I re-sized the Sharp-shinned to be somewhat smaller than the Cooper's. They are real variable, I understand, with the female Sharp-shinned very close in size to a male Cooper's. I think this adds something to the pages, but I don't intend this to be any sort of exact scientific statement.
