From Thanksgiving Day at the Huntington Beach, CA wet lands. Wanted to get a BIF. She (I think) was intent on staring at me instead.
About 75-100 feet away high in a tree. Canon 1Ds Mark III with Tamron 150-600 @ 500MM. Hand held.

Not sure which species. Very engaging photo!

Very nice photo. Could it be our old friend, the Cooper's Hawk? The tail looks right.
