Caught this fellow eyeing the bird feeder waiting for prey this morning.

Very nice! I love seeing birds of prey. You captured its regal, stoic look. It posed nicely for you.
One point though … and not meant as a criticism in any way. This doesn’t look like a Cooper’s Hawk to me. It has the speckled wing feathers instead of the Cooper’s Hawk’s more solid coloring. Also, it’s missing the extra-long tail feathers of a Cooper’s Hawk. If you (bcheary) like, I can post a photo of a Cooper’s Hawk I came across on a recent hike near my house.
