they’re\u00a0best known for eating.<\/p>\n<p>As one more evidence that I’m more of a bird photographer than I am a birder I’ll admit from the get-go that I’m unsure if this is a Cooper’s Hawk or\u00a0a Sharp-shinned Hawk.\u00a0 Based on the somewhat rounded shape of the tail-tip and the color of the face my guess would be juvenile Cooper’s but I have no real confidence in that\u00a0tentative choice.\u00a0 Help!<\/p>\n<p><em>(note – this bird has now been confirmed by folks whose ID skills I trust, here and on FB, to be a Cooper’s Hawk.\u00a0 Thanks for the help!)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>But either way it’s an\u00a0Accipiter and yesterday morning I\u00a0watched as it very deliberately perch-hunted voles instead of birds\u00a0at Farmington Bay.\u00a0 This post is only\u00a0meant as documentation of that fact – many of the images are mediocre at best.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"28004\"
