Cooper's Hawk

From the bedroom window.


Once I saw a Cooper's skulking near the birdfeeder.  He dove into a nearby tree, flushed a goldfinch, and chased it like a rollercoaster through the limbs and branches.

Cooper's resemble Sharp-shinned, but have longer neck and rounded, white-tipped tail.
Both have blood-red eyes!
