Cooper's Hawk
I was lucky enough to have a very cooperative Cooper's in this birdie. I was able to circumnavigate the tree from which this bird was hunting. There were shoulder-deep water-oriented rushes which were filled with song birds, which this Cooper's was interested in inviting to a meal. Here is a takeoff that I was able to capture, where the Cooper's dove into the brush after a meal. This attack was unsuccessful, but the Cooper's flew back into the tree to await a later attempt.
