Post by: ravynne40 on January 31, 2010, 10:08:55 AM

Cooper's Hawk Jan.31.10 7:30 am. I believe this to be the resident Cooper's Hawk of Marie Curtis Park

Nice shots Irene.  Its always hard to differentiate Coopers from Sharpies, but the rounded tail appearance  created by the shorter outer tail feathers (best seen in your first image) makes me think this is a Coopers.
