  1. Morning bird feast! Looks like a sharp-shinned hawk. Very stealth forest-flier. Likes to pick off birds. The long striped tail gives it away, though it could also be a cooper's hawk or Merlin - did you identify it?

  2. i'm thinking cooper's hawk, but i'm not sure. an immature one due to the breast coloring, tho'.
