Aaron,

Nice shot! I saw one of these in my front yard munching down on a Mockingbird several years ago. A few weeks ago another Cooper's Hawk passed directly in front of my truck while I was stopped for a light. He took a low, stealthy swoop across the six-lane road and struck from behind.....Whooops! There went another Mockingbird!
