Looks like it could be a Coopers Hawk. __________________________ "Para ser libre, un hombre debe tener tres cosas, la tierra, una educacion y un fusil. Siempre un fusil !" (Emiliano Zapata) | |||

Looks like cooper's to me. peregrines are much darker in color. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

Yep, a Coopers Hawk. Here's one that visited a neighbor a while ago.  Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

You can tell he's an accipiter by the long middle talon. So, definitely a Coopers Hawk. ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||
