Cooper's Hawk - adult

This small hawk was hiding out in a pine tree at Dos Lagos Park. I could tell that it was a Cooper's Hawk because of its gradually shorter inner tail feathers. If they were all at the same length, it would probably be a Sharp-shinned Hawk. Cooper's Hawks are also bulkier and have thicker tarsi. Juveniles have white breasts with brown streaking whereas adults have an orangeish color to their barred breasts.
