Field Notes

Description:

As shown in the photo, brown/white mottling on the back with strips on the tail. S/he appeared to be approx. 15" to 20" from bottom of tail to top of head.

Habitat:

S/he just seemed to be chilling at the pool.

Notes:

I looked out my window one morning and quickly grabbed my camera managing this one shot through the balcony door. I tried to quietly open the door but s/he had good hearing.

It might be a juvenile Cooper's Hawk, but wait for someone better than I am at ID.
