Sharp-shinned Hawk (Accipiter striatus)
Another Dove dinner? Nice shot!
Thanks! Yep, he had a little Dove for dinner! He must have been pretty hungry too because he let me get to within 6' before flying away. I stood there snapping pictures while he would grab a bite, look around, grab another bite etc. Then I took a step closer and he took off, with what was left of dinner in his talons.
This one's a Cooper's - stout bill, thick legs. I'll move it across in a mo.
