Adult Cooper's Hawk <i><a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Accipiter_cooperii" title="Accipiter cooperii">Accipiter cooperii</a></i>. The photographer took this picture of the hawk in his backyard in West Haven, CT. We are not sure what the prey was but suspect it was a Mourning Dove as about a dozen or so were in the nearby maple tree at the same time.
