Birders help me out, is this a Cooper's Hawk? Once again waiting patiently at the right time and the right spot is the name of the game here.

Good shot. Blue Jays can be raucous.

Amazing photo, your patience paid off. Looks like the hawk has been through some tough times, note tail feathers

Great catch BColin! Based on the relative size, I also think it is a Sharp-shinned hawk. This is terrific action and well worth your patient waiting.
