A very fine Cooper's Hawk, looking for some mousy breakfast. He seemed fixated one one patch of ditch, flying from mail box to chamisa bush until we'd safely walked past, and he could get on with finding the day's supplies. His area takes him (I say "him" - he's smaller, rather than larger, as Cooper's go) over our house fairly often, with much anxious scuttering of little birds. What one can see beautifully well here is how this particular type of hawk has rounded wing-tips (all the better to glide with) - and just look at the extraordinary fan of a tail.
