Hawk in our yard

I went outside this morning expecting to see a lot of Yellow-rumped Warblers and hoping for the occasional other warbler. I heard the occasional peep deep in the trees but saw nothing.  When this fellow swooped around our fruit trees I may have found the answer to the quiet.

I think it is a juvenile Sharp-shinned Hawk but would appreciate having someone confirm that.  Hawks are probably the family of birds with which I have the most trouble.
