Accipiter cooperii
Adult Cooper's Hawk - other shots that weren't as good showed the tail, which is what we were able to use to distinguish it as a Cooper's and not a Sharp-shinned.

very pretty!
Beautiful spotting! Welcome to Project Noah! What a way to start! Amazing!
We have Cooper's Hawks her in So. California.
They are prey on Squirrels and other small birds.
Great spotting!! Welcome to PN!! I'd love you to add this spotting to the mission Raptors of North America...I started this mission right here in CO and it's been expanded to all of North America...we've just passed 1,000 spottings!! http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8627...
