The Sharp-shinned Hawk breeds throughout all the forests in Canada during the summer months. Lives and breeds in some western and eastern locations of the USA all year round. It is seen from Newfoundland and Labrador, west to Central British Columbia, south to southern California, all the way east to the southern tip of Florida, in the non-breeding season. This hawk is seen throughout the Caribbean islands and has been seen as a migrant in Cuba.
