The redtails made themselves scarce this afternoon, but a male Cooper's hawk was an acceptable stand-in.
Cooper's Hawk ~ (Accipiter cooperii )
99/100 times I run into a mid-size brown and white hawk in Florida, it is a juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk. This time I was excited to stumble upon this Cooper's Hawk. I was walking around a lake and not paying as much attention to the trees surrounding it as I should have. I nearly walked under the branch it was perched on. I'm grateful it let me backup slowly and grab a few shots despite my clumsy invasion of its privacy!
Thanks for visiting!
A fine Flickr friend likes these birds so I culled through my archives to find this one. On my way to work I pass a road aptly named Hawk's Hill. There I almost always see a hawk but rarely have time to stop. Today the cool weather comes in, I'm so glad!
Its a big enough file to zoom for details:)
Thank you for visiting and be well Flickr friends.
Flew in front of my house and gave me the look! Fortunately I had the camera all set and got the shot!
Do you think when Cooper (he's a Cooper Hawk) isn't gliding with ease in the air that he sits in a tree or on a pole and sharpens his nails?
A medium-sized predator that likes to fly fifteen feet or so above the ground, zipping through the branches of trees with ease and surprising small bird and doves.
Thanks for the visits, faves and comments its greatly appreciated.

Looks like an autumn image, but actually from March. These guys look great no matter the time of year!
Or something. I was walking at the riparian preserve this morning and I spotted an immature cooper's hawk perched right about knee-level. Seemed an odd place because there would be limited visibility of potential prey. Maybe it had a failed attempt at prey and was just recovering near the ground. I got pretty close it and observed for a few minutes before it took off.

This may not be as sharp as I would have wished, but I am still pleased to have been able to capture this grab shot while complying with the stay at home directive

This bird was in my backyard, up close from 12:57 to 2:51 pm November 3. There is a long story but to keep it short he or she spent most of the time in my apricot tree preening and bird watching. Twice she went to the ground after birds, and failed to make a kill. She returned to perch in the apricot tree after each attempt. If she was keeping a list of birds for future reference that list would include Black-capped Chickadee, Anna's Hummingbird, Dark-eyed Junco, House Sparrow, White-crowned Sparrow, and California Quail.

This Coopers Hawk is surveying the shrubs below where smaller birds seek shelter. I have even seen this hawk on the ground hunting in the bushes.
