juv Cooper's Hawk (Accipiter cooperii)

My second, and so far best, shot of a Cooper's Hawk. The first shot was of one perched high up in a tree along the Bay Trail. This one suddenly flew into view above me out on the bluffs at Sea Ranch, then equally suddenly flew away behind some trees and roofs. I felt lucky to get this one, almost-sharp shot.
