There is no clear cut definition of what constitutes a hawk, so experts disagree about which one is the smallest. Among accipiters, the smallest is the 11" long sharp-shinned hawk, similar in size to a blue-jay. The smallest buteo is the 15" long broad-winged hawk. The rough-legged hawk, is one of the largest, with a length of 22 inches and a wingspan of over 55 inches. Female hawks are almost always larger than males.
