This one flew through my backyard and landed on a lamp post.

Hey

Looks like Juvenile "Coopers Hawk"

Wedged shape feathers "Hackles" on head, Xtremely long tail feathers. If we could see underneath the Tail feathers would be folded sequentially shortest "outermost" at front to longest. Longest feathers showing at back.

Napper :)


added tail feather description and then clarified outermost as shortest

Thanks Napper.  I didn't get any photos showing the tail feathers from the front.
