Cooper's Hawk - a photo on Flickriver

Cooper's Hawk

            One of our neighborhood hawks that likes to hang around our bird feeders.  He kept trying to hide his eyes behind that small branch, perhaps thinking I then couldn't see him.  

"This bird was named after the naturalist William Cooper, one of the founders of the New York Academy of Sciences.  Other common names; big blue darter, chicken hawk, hen hawk, Mexican hawk, quail hawk, striker and swift hawk."  Wiki

Hope your weekend is off to a wonderful start!
