Cooper's Hawk at CONE Welder

I'm so excited today to see my first raptor, in real time, at CONE Welder (http://cone.berkeley.edu).  It looks like an adult female Cooper's Hawk.



Cooper's Hawk (Accipiter cooperii) are in the genus Accipiter.  They have long tails, short wings and are very good at pursuing small birds through trees and bushes.
