This girl came flying in with her lunch and stayed long enough for me to snap a few pics.
Adult female Cooper's Hawk.

Here is a closer look at her face.
Hawks have that look don't they?
Notice the red eye.

Lunch is a European starling. Notice the black bill by the hawks left foot and the strling spots.
I know it is a female by the sheer size of it.

Great shots of your Cooper's hawk Ron. I know it's a shame the starling had to die but, after all, the hawk has to eat too doesn't she?

What a majestic looking gal.  I hope she enjoyed her lunch. Well caught and well shared too.
