Juvenile Red Tailed [or Cooper's?] Hawk
[Update: I have recently learned that this may be a Cooper's Hawk]
I was just leaving for work Friday morning when I glanced out the backyard windows at the bird feeder next to the deck and saw this juvenile Red Tailed Hawk sitting on top of one of the bird feeders - just watching all of the little birds fly by. He let me take pictures for over half an hour. What fun to see it so close. They are usually hard to get near in the wild. He is balancing here on one leg, but there were definitely two sets of talons.
